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

In my case none of the answers worked, so I queued the setSelection through a Handler

new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {        
    public void run() {
      mSpinner.setSelection(1);
    }
  }, 100);

Doing this could cause problems when running on slow devices, but I'm working for a specific device so it's ok to use this hack
