How to set Spinner default value to null?

My solution, in case you have a TextView as each row of the spinner:

    // TODO: add a fake item as the last one of "items"
    final ArrayAdapter adapter=new ArrayAdapter(..,..,items) 
      {
      @Override
      public View getDropDownView(final int position,final View convertView,final ViewGroup parent)
        {
        final View dropDownView=super.getDropDownView(position,convertView,parent);
        ((TextView)dropDownView.findViewById(android.R.id.text1)).setHeight(position==getCount()-1?0:getDimensionFromAttribute(..,R.attr.dropdownListPreferredItemHeight));
        dropDownView.getLayoutParams().height=position==getCount()-1?0:LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
        return dropDownView;
        }
      }

    ...
    spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
    _actionModeSpinnerView.setSelection(dataAdapter.getCount()-1,false);



  public static int getDimensionFromAttribute(final Context context,final int attr)
    {
    final TypedValue typedValue=new TypedValue();
    if(context.getTheme().resolveAttribute(attr,typedValue,true))
      return TypedValue.complexToDimensionPixelSize(typedValue.data,context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
    return 0;
    }
