Unfortunately, standard spinner doesn't allow to show 'nothing selected' state after adapter is set. As soon as you set adapter first element become selected.
You should create custrom spinner for "nothing selected" position. See here http://stackoverflow.com/a/12221309
Seems, you should join solution from this link with link from your question

I want to make custom spinner in which user can select one of the items on dropdown list (like in normal spinner) but I want to prevent from closing (collapsing/dismiss) dropdown list after item selection. Or closing dropdown when user tap two times on item instead of single tap. Is anyone here knows how to achive such behavior using spinner?
Set itemSelectedListener on your spinner and onItemSelected() run this code
spinner.setClickable(false);
Have created n number of spinners pro grammatically. need to select spinner without clicking the spinner item.
it should select only when click the button.
(ex) 50 spinners have created using loop
it should select specific spinner based on button click.
You can select specific spinner item by,
spinner.setSelection(position);
hopes this solves your problem.
I have a spinner populated with custom view by extending BaseAdapter. Items are populated by overriding the getView() method in BaseAdapter
I need to find a way to distinguish the selected item in the drop down list only. I mean when the user clicks on the spinner the item previously selected will show in different color/ background etc.
I don't think there is a need to see the code because it's similar to many on the site.
Couldn't you just use setOnItemSelectedListener? It would record the position of the spinner, and you could find if the position change.

When I click on the first item in the spinner, or the default one, the spinner just collapses. All other items perform desired action. How do I get the first item to fire an action?
You are having this problem (assuming you have implemented the setOnItemSelectedListener() for the Spinner) because Spinner calls the onItemSelected() only when you change the Selection, in other words select a new item in the Spinner. Hence the Spinner simply collapse when you select the default selection.
Hope this explanation helps.
I have a problem that I have two spinners, second spinner is dependent on first (means when I select a item from 1st Spinner then according to that Second Spinner gets filled). But the problem is, I want Select Keyword as a default Item for both spinners, and when I will click on that, spinner should filled with parsed Info and when I will select an Item from first Spinner then the Parsing starts for Second Spinner but Spinner remains with default Select Keyword, when I will click on second spinner then it should be filled by the parsed Info.
How can I implement this, because when I am setting the adapter in any spinners its onItemSelectedListner first called, which is not desirable.
You will need to add "Select" as your first item in your array list..
and on click event of the Spinner you just remove the First item from your array list
you will also find many similar question in Stack Overflow..search for it and you will get your exact answers with example.
You Can do this by Dialog, make a Customize dialog with List Box and fill the list with parsed data after click on TextBox which contains Select Keyword as a default.
