Trigger Spinner event when selection does not change

Question

I have a Spinner dropdown with 3 items (they represent dates that can be selected).

Now
Weekend
Custom Date

'Custom Date' is special, when I select it I display a DatePickerDialog. The problem is that when 'Custom Date' is already selected I cannot display again the DatePickerDialog.

SetOnItemSelectedListener fires only when you change selection, I tried OnItemClickListener but I get the exception

setOnItemClickListener cannot be used with a spinner.

Any way to detect the click/select event even when you don't change selection?

Thanks

Some below you are excepting?

Spinner mySpinner = (Spinner)findViewbyId(R.id.spinner);
int position = mySpinner.getSelectedItemPosition(); 
String Text = yourCityList[position].toString();

String text = mySpinner.getSelectedItem().toString();

Yes, but I want that code to be called every time when I select some (even the same) item. – albert Jun 22 '19 at 18:23
Then you need write custom listener! – NikhilReddy Jun 22 '19 at 18:25
