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?

Answer 1

Simple and easy is this... validate with a boolean to see if is first time...

Spinner mySpinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinner_xml_pro);
        mySpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemSelected(AdapterView adapterView, View view, int i, long l) {
                if(isSpinnerInitial){ // globar var boolean isSpinnerInitial = false;
                 //do something
               }else
                    isSpinnerInitial=true;
            }

            @Override
            public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView adapterView) {

            }
        });

Check this with spinner.post(new Runnable()...) or this other my source
