POHow to make On Item Selected not automatically choose the first entry
text
Body
copied!<p>I have created a spinner which is automatically updated with appliance names when a person adds an appliance using an array adapter. I created an OnItemSelected method with the spinner so when one of the names in the spinner is selected, a new window appears. However the OnItemSelected is automatically selecting the first item on the list when the activity starts and so the user does not have a chance to actually make a selection until the new window appears.</p> <p>Here is the code:</p> <pre><code>public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub startActivity(new Intent("com.lukeorpin.theappliancekeeper.APPLIANCESELECTED")); } public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub </code></pre> <p>Does anyone know a way in which the first item on the list wont be automatically selected?</p> <p>Here is the code for the rest of the spinner:</p> <pre><code>ArrayAdapter<String> appliancenameadapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, ApplianceNames); //Sets up an array adapter containing the values of the ApplianceNames string array applianceName = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner_name); //Gives the spinner in the xml layout a variable name applianceName.setAdapter(appliancenameadapter); //Adds the contents of the array adapter into the spinner applianceName.setOnItemSelectedListener(this); </code></pre>
