How to catch fire of onItemSelected of a Spinner, after the interface has been setup?

Question

I am having an Android view with a Spinner on it. I call a populateSpinner() method to add some default values to it.

I also have a onItemSelected() event which gets called before the view is completed to print. I would like to run a code inside this block only when the user changes the selected items, not when I add or the form gets created.

How is possible that?

Have you tried waiting until you have populated the Spinner to register the onItemSelectedListener?

By 'waiting until you have populated the Spinner', you mean setting the adapter for the spinner, right? I call 'setOnItemSelectedListener' only after I call 'setAdapter' method on the spinner, but still the 'onItemSelected' event gets fired at the initialization of the activity. – Samik R Aug 04 '10 at 05:59
