Some explanation (at least for Fragments - never tried with pure Activity). Hope it helps someone to understand Android better. Most popular answer by Arun George is correct but don't work in some cases. The answer by Marco HC uses Runnable wich is a last resort due to additional CPU load. The answer is - you should simply choose correct place to call to setSelection(), for example it works for me: @Override public void onResume() { super.onResume(); yourSpinner.setSelection(pos); } But it won't work in onCreateView(). I suspect that is the reason for the interest to this topic. The secret is that with Android you can't do anything you want in any method - oops:( - components may just not be ready. As another example - you can't scroll ScrollView neither in onCreateView() nor in onResume() (see the answer here)

这是我正在使用的Kotlin扩展:

fun Spinner.setItem(list: Array<CharSequence>, value: String) {
    val index = list.indexOf(value)
    this.post { this.setSelection(index) }
}

用法:

spinnerPressure.setItem(resources.getTextArray(R.array.array_pressure), pressureUnit)

这招对我很管用:

@Override
protected void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    mySpinner.setSelection(position);
}

它类似于@sberezin的解决方案，但在onStart()中调用setSelection()。

这在本页其他地方的评论中有说明，但我认为把它拉出来作为一个答案是有用的:

当使用适配器时，我发现spinnerObject.setSelection(INDEX_OF_CATEGORY2)需要发生在setAdapter调用之后;否则，第一项总是初始选择。

// spinner setup...
spinnerObject.setAdapter(myAdapter);
spinnerObject.setSelection(INDEX_OF_CATEGORY2);

这可以通过检查setAdapter的AbsSpinner代码来确认。

我从昨天开始就有同样的问题。不幸的是，数组列表中的第一项默认显示在spinner小部件中。一种转换方法是在数组列表中找到带有每个元素的前一个选定项，并将其与第一个元素交换位置。这是代码。

OnResume()
{
int before_index = ShowLastSelectedElement();
if (isFound){
      Collections.swap(yourArrayList,before_index,0);
   }
adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(CurrentActivity.this,
                            android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, yourArrayList);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item;                    yourListView.setAdapter(adapter);
}
...
private int ShowLastSelectedElement() {
        String strName = "";
        int swap_index = 0;
        for (int i=0;i<societies.size();i++){
            strName = yourArrayList.get(i);
            if (strName.trim().toLowerCase().equals(lastselectedelement.trim().toLowerCase())){
                swap_index = i;
                isFound = true;
            }
        }
        return swap_index;
    }

最优解为:

    public String[] items= new String[]{"item1","item2","item3"};
    // here you can use array or list 
    ArrayAdapter adapter= new ArrayAdapter(Your_Context, R.layout.support_simple_spinner_dropdown_item, items);
    final Spinner itemsSpinner= (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.itemSpinner);
itemsSpinner.setAdapter(adapter);

若要自动获取该项的位置，请添加以下语句

itemsSpinner.setSelection(itemsSpinner.getPosition("item2"));
