Spinner item gets automatically selected upon entering activity. How do I avoid this?

Question

I have a spinner in my Android app, and its onItemSelected() event automatically gets triggered upon entering the activity.

How do I avoid this?

To add on Jerry Abraham, You should clear selection before enabling setOnItemSelectedListener

  Spinner mSpinner=(Spinner)findViewById(R.id.mySpinner);
  int initialSelectedPosition=mSpinner.getSelectedItemPosition();
  mSpinner.setSelection(initialSelectedPosition, false); //clear selection
  mSpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(this); //set listener after clearing section
