Android Spinner.setSelection() doesn't work

Question

I\'m having a spinner which is populated with a CursorAdapter. Now when creating that spinner (dynamically) I want to set a default selection different to 0 (0

Answer 1

Try Spinner#setSelection (int position, boolean animate) with animate = false. I remember a while back I had a similar problem and this did the trick. The internal implementation seems to differ apart from the difference coming from the animate part.

Answer 2

If you know default selected spinner item, it can be written as follows:

Spinner sp = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
sp.setSelection(0);   // sets the first item 

onItemselectedlistener is called when you change the spinner item selection.
