How to set a default text to a Spinner

You only need 3 lines of code for this:

(1) Declare a global variable that is used to save and load the spinner item ID. By global, I mean declaring it right after "public class MainActivity extends Activity {".

int mySpinner_selectedId; 

(2) Then, add the following code AFTER the user has made his/her choice. One good location would be a button that appears together with your spinner.

mySpinner_selectedId = mySpinner.getSelectedItemPosition();

(3) Finally, add the following code right after "mySpinner.setAdapter(adapter);" to load the last selected item.

mySpinner.setSelection(mySpinner_selectedId);

You're most welcomed.

Use this code

declaration

String selected, spinner_item;

spinner code

sp.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
            selected = sp.getSelectedItem().toString();
            if (!selected.equals("Country"))
                spinner_item = selected;
            System.out.println(selected);

            setid();
        }

        private void setid() {
            sp.setSelection(sp_position);
            t.setText(spinner_item);
        }

        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {

        }
    });

spinner.setPrompt("Pick One");
