Following up on extrapedestrian's comment, this is what worked for me.
Inside a custom OptionsSpinnerAdapter (extends ArrrayAdapter implements
SpinnerAdapter):
@Override
public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup
parent) {
View view = convertView;
... code to set up view and text ...
if (!option.isAvailable()) {
view.setEnabled(false); // greys out the text
view.setClickable(true); // makes item unclickable
}
return view;
}
