setting initial text on spinner

Question

In Android, I want to use a Spinner that initially (when the user has not made a selection yet) displays the text "Select". When the user clicks the spinner, the list of items is displayed and the user selects one of the options. After the user has made a selection, the selected item is displayed in the Spinner instead of "Select".

Put "Select" at 0 position in your list or array which you are using to create Spinner.

Prior to being touched, spinners always display the first item in their array of options. Create the spinner with the text "Select" as its only option, which will cause it to be shown. Then override the onClick() method to reload the spinner's content to the list of options you want to show the user.
