why dont you try this sp.setselection(0); Since you have added the Select item to the 0th position.This line will show 'Select Item' since its at the 0th postion. Try..! – UserName_Untold Nov 16 '16 at 09:18

//this is your default value You can try this – UserName_Untold Nov 16 '16 at 09:34
giving error like Error:(25, 25) String types not allowed (at 'prompt' with value 'Select Item'). – Nov 16 '16 at 09:40
Try storing the value in the Strings.xml and referencing it, rather than giving directly android:prompt="@string/select_item" – UserName_Untold Nov 16 '16 at 09:45
nope it's not working too.. – Nov 16 '16 at 09:55
