Android Spinner user interaction of on item selected

Question

I have problem in listening user interaction of the spinner when item selected. I know the below listener work perfect

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);

@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView, View selectedItemView, int position, long id) {
    // your code here
}

@Override
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parentView) {
    // your code here
}

but In my application scenario I will change the spinner value through program,that time also it fire the onitemselected event.but I need this event should fired only when user interaction happened on the spinner

Note:I am not talking on initial spinner value selected item.

Please Let me know how can I accomplish this

Thanks in advance, Naveenkumar.R

tempListener = spinner.getOnItemSelectedListener();
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(null);
//change the spinner value...
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(tempListener)

More elegantly, you could subclass the Spinner class, and create 'disableOnItemSelectedListener()' and 'enableOnItemSelectedListener()' methods, which do the same as the code above.

Its working fine but I need to give some delay before setting the listener back.Let me know if any other solution available without setting the delay – naveen Jun 06 '12 at 15:23
It has some other problem I have resolved.Now its working without setting the delay.Thank you – naveen Jun 07 '12 at 05:43
The problem is that the spinner animates and does the callback when it's done. spinner.setSelection(i, false); will disable animation and likewise a delayed callback. – Renate Jun 15 '12 at 00:14

Undesired calls to onItemSelected can be avoided using a simple technique I describe in the following link. This way, you can yourself setSelection anytime without a worry. Check the accepted answer to this question:
