Undesired onItemSelected calls

Question

I have 36 spinners that I have initialized with some values. I have used onItemSelectedListener with them. As usual, the user can interact with these spinners, firing the on

Answer 1

When Spinner.setSelection(position) is used, it always activates setOnItemSelectedListener()

To avoid firing the code twice I use this solution:

     private Boolean mIsSpinnerFirstCall = true;

    ...
    Spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) {
            //If a new value is selected (avoid activating on setSelection())
            if(!mIsSpinnerFirstCall) {
                // Your code goes gere
            }
            mIsSpinnerFirstCall = false;
        }

        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView arg0) {
        }
    });
