Android: setSelection having no effect on Spinner

Question

I\'m having some problem with setSelection on a Spinner. I set the value to be pre-selected when the spinner is shown in code, but it has no effect and the first alternative

Answer 1

You might try

mSpinner.post(new Runnable() {        
    public void run() {
      mSpinner.setSelection(1);
    }
  });

this will post the runnable action to run as soon as the view is created
