Rather than Google, you first point of reference should be the JComboBox API documentation, where you will find the following...

public int getSelectedIndex() ... Returns an integer specifying the currently selected list item, where 0 specifies the first item in the list; or -1 if no item is selected or if the currently selected item is not in the list
