Set text of spinner before item is selected

Question

I have a spinner with three items and I use an XML string-array resource to feed it. When you open an activity the spinner normally shows the first item that\'s in the array lis

Answer 1

You can do that one of two ways.

1) Add "Select One" as the first item in your xml and code your listener to ignore that as a selection.

2) Create a custom adapter to insert it as the first line,

EDIT

In your resources

    Select One
    Item One
    Item Two
    Item Three

In your onItemSelected Listener:

spinnername.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
@Override
    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView parent) {
    }
    @Override
    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView parent, View view, int pos, long id) {
        if (pos == 0) {
        }else {
            // Your code to process the selection
        }
    }
});
