Hide the spinner list programmatically

Question

I have used a spinner on a custom alert box. Once the alert pops up there is a spinner attached to it. And after the user clicks on the spinner it gives you a list of countries. And i am searching a way to remove/hide/dismiss that country list (Only the spinner list) programmatically. How to accomplish this?

My goal is to remove that country list which generated from the spinner, once the onPause of the activity invoked.

Its because, if i open the spinner drop down list and put the app in background... after resuming the app from another 1 hr it gives a force close saying view not attached to the window. — nala4ever, Apr 03 '12 at 12:47
You should put here some code. I suspect that your problem is not the spinner itself but rather in the creation/destruction of your Dialog. hiding it will not solve it. — Vincent Mimoun-Prat, Apr 03 '12 at 12:55

You may hide the spinner by setting its visibility GONE or by making setEnabled(false). But, that doesnt solve your problem i guess. You may have to override onResume() and onPause() methods for that.

Thank you guys. Dismissing the drop down list is not possible it seems. Tried several ways like dispatching beck key events, calling onbackpressed etc... Finally I removed the pop up dialog box (custom dialog) itself when the app goes to the background. Thank you so much for the help :)
