I have the same problem. I want to pre-set the selection based on an _id that is not the same as the position. I display a set of codes in the spinner i.e.
_id display 4 blue 5 green i want when I have an _id of 4 to set the position to 0. I populate the spinner dynamically from a DB so it is not trivial to find the correspondence between the _id and corresponding position. I have to say that the Android API is EXTREMELY painful with regards to simple things like this!
