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

You can avoid it by ignoring the first click by,

private boolean isSpinnerInitial = true; //As global variable

public void onItemSelected(xxx xxx, xxx xxx, xxx xxx, xxx xxx) {
    if(isSpinnerInitial) {
        isSpinnerInitial = false;
        return;
    }
    // Write your code here
}
