I tried that, but AbsSpinner#setAdapter makes use of package private fields and methods of its super classes which I don't have access to. I even tried creating my subclass in the same package (android.widget) but to no avail.
Is the shipped SDK doing something to specifically hide fields and methods like AdapterView#mOldItemCount and AdapterView#setselectedPositionInt in 2.1 and 2.2?
