How to enable / disable drop down list of Spinner

Question

I created a spinner and its working fine.

All I want is that when i click on spinner it show drop down that's it. I want un-clickble drop down list.

Using this

    viewHolder.like.setEnabled(false);
    viewHolder.like.setClickable(false);

my spinner set unclickble.

If anyone need more detail about spinner I can post more details. Suggestions are welcome.

You simply need to override isEnabled and disable that position by return false else return true. You can override the same method where you have override getDropDownView method

just use the **spinner.setSelection(0);** to by default select the value at zero position. which in most cases will be the hint value. – Rahul Khurana Jul 27 '17 at 10:43
