I set values in my setOnItemSelectedListener depending on what is selected in my spinner.

How can I stop this method being called onCreate?

Thanks in advance

Set setOnItemSelectedListener for your spinner not onItemClickListener

Take a boolean field like this

boolean onload=false;

And the in your oncreate

set 

 onload=true;

And in your onItemSelectedListener, do like this

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
     if(!onload)
     {              
     }
onload=false;
    }
    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
    }
});

  • see edited question, do you understand where i'm coming from? In onItemSelected I set my wattage variable depending on what is selected in the spinner, but I want to be able to load a custom wattage value, so basically I need to skip this setOnItemSelectedListener method – cwiggo May 09 '13 at 12:22
