ANDROID spinner doesn't showing last selected item

Question

But i am not able to find the solution for this. I know this may be asked before. But it is really different from other issues.

I am trying to implement one spinner

Answer 1

Create a custom layout for your spinner item...

spinner_item.xml

Now use it in your adapter:

    Spinner spinner = (Spinner) convertView.findViewById(R.id.listSpinner);
    ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(getActivity(), R.layout.spinner_item, SpinnerOptions);
    adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line);
    spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
    //adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);

Second way

force the spinner to setselection using spinner.setSelection()

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView parentView, View selectedItemView, int position, long id) {
            Toast.makeText(parentView.getContext(), "Selected ---: " + SpinnerOptions.get(position), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

            if (position == 0) {
                spinner.setSelection(((ArrayAdapter) spinner.getAdapter()).getPosition("Male"));
            } else {
                spinner.setSelection(((ArrayAdapter) spinner.getAdapter()).getPosition("Female"));
            }

        }

        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView parentView) {
            Log.d("Log", "Called");
            spinner.setSelection(((ArrayAdapter) spinner.getAdapter()).getPosition("Female"));
        }
    });

in this case you don't need spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);
