Create a spinner programmatically in Android

I want to create a spinner without using XML. I am new in android and my knowledge is limited. By now I have this code (see above) and I want my spinner in one of the tabs of my TabActivity. There is no obvious error but when I open my activity the tab is empty. I would appreciate some help.

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    ArrayList<String> spinnerArray = new ArrayList<String>();
    spinnerArray.add("one");
    spinnerArray.add("two");
    spinnerArray.add("three");
    spinnerArray.add("four");
    spinnerArray.add("five");

    Spinner spinner = new Spinner(this);
    ArrayAdapter<String> spinnerArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, spinnerArray);
    spinner.setAdapter(spinnerArrayAdapter);

}
