OnItemSelectedListener() not being called for my spinner

Answer 1

Leave the visibility for the spinner at INVISIBLE, but set the android:layout_width="0dp" and android:layout_height="0dp"

That way, the spinner is effectively not in the UI until you call performClick(), then it appears, user makes the choice and the spinner collapses back to 0x0 ... and you get the onItemSelected event.
