why don't you use onClickListener instead?

s.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {

        }
    });

your code give a runtime exception : Don't call setOnClickListener for an AdapterView. You probably want setOnItemClickListener instead – StraightforwardDev Mar 12 '18 at 13:21

cityspinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() 
    {
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) 
        {
            String selectedItemcity = parent.getItemAtPosition(position).toString();

        } // to close the onItemSelected
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) 
        {

        }           
    });


neighborhoodSpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() 
    {
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) 
        {
            String selectedItemneighbour = parent.getItemAtPosition(position).toString();
            if(selectedItemcity.equals("your item name")) //Also you can check previous spinners position here if 0 then show popup or dilaog
            {

                 // do your stuff
            }
        } // to close the onItemSelected
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) 
        {

        }           
    });

Use setOnItemSelectedListener to get spinner item selection listener.

mSpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> adapterView, View view, int position, long l) {
            // Write your code here

        }

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

        }
    });

It depends whether your spinner has a default value to mean nothing. For example, if your spinner has a city value of "Please select a city" or something like that, which doesn't have to be the case.

Your spinner may already have a city selected when it's populated.

In the case that "Please select a city" is an option, this code might help:

   Spinner city= findViewById(R.id.spinner_city);
   Spinner neighborhood = findViewById(R.id.spinner_neighborhood);

   neighborhood.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            if(city.getSelectedItem().toString().equals("Please select a city")){
                Toast.makeText(MyActivity.this, "Please select a city first", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }else{
                // do nothing
            }
        }
    });

i can't use onClickListener it gives me runtime exception : runtime exception : Don't call setOnClickListener for an AdapterView. You probably want setOnItemClickListener instead — StraightforwardDev, Mar 12 '18 at 13:25
