After some more thought, I think your advice to use the position of the unit name in the array will work.
The only issue I can think of is if I add a new unit after the app is released, the new entry has to go at the end of the array. For example, take pressure units. Say I start with the units: bar, atm, mmHg, Pa. In version 2.0 (bigger, better, etc) I find I need to add mbar, and inHg. They would have to go at the end of this array, so the spinner would display bar, atm, mmHg, Pa, mbar, inHg. A better visual display would be mbar, bar, atm, inHg, mmHg, Pa, but I cannot insert mbar and inHg into the array, they have to go at the end because I am using the array's position index for the units instead of an external fixed constant. If I insert the new units into the start of the array, then any saved unit index in the sqlite db from the 1.0 version of the app will be incorrect. Probably a small price to pay for the benefits of easy localization.
