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

The way I solved this is by saving the OnItemSelectedListener first. Then set the OnItemSelectedListener of the Spinner to the null value. After setting the item in the Spinner by code, restore the OnItemSelectedListener again. This worked for me.

See code below:

        // disable the onItemClickListener before changing the selection by code. Set it back again afterwards
        AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener onItemSelectedListener = historyPeriodSpinner.getOnItemSelectedListener();
        historyPeriodSpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(null);
        historyPeriodSpinner.setSelection(0);
        historyPeriodSpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(onItemSelectedListener);
