You can actually stop default selection with a little hackery: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/867518/how-to-make-an-android-spinner-with-initial-text-select-one
This isn't entirely future-safe because it uses method reflection and changes the visibility at runtime, but I can attest that it works. The other less hackish way to get around this is to just set a flag on initializing the spinner such that you ignore the default call to onSelectionChange(); The default will still be displayed but it won't trigger whatever action you call from onSelectionChange(); A third option is to inject a blank value into your adapter. This is pretty easy with an ArrayAdapter and I do with with a CursorAdapter using CursorWrapper Jonathan On Jan 25, 1:19 am, Mark Murphy <mmur...@commonsware.com> wrote: > You cannot stop default selection, other than to set your own > selection.
