I have a Spinner whose items comes from an ArrayAdaper, and I want the Spinner to initially show that no item has been selected. When the user clicks on the Spinner it's DropDownView should display just those items available for selection.
I don't want to add an empty/blank item at the head of my list of items because that means that it shows as an avalaible selection in the DropDownView and looks pretty lame. And if a selection is made I want it to be a valid one. I tried spinner#setSelection(-1); but that doesn't work. The first item remains selected. I tried setting no Adapter initially (which provides the desired initial view) and had hoped to configure the appropriate adapter in the OnClickListener, but spinner#setOnClickListener throw a RuntimeException saying "You probably want to use #setOnItemClickListener instead". And trying to use #setOnItemClickListener throws a RuntimeException saying it is not valid for a Spinner. Surely this is a common use case. How can I set the Spinner to initially show as empty? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
