I have been successfully running an app under android 2.2 (api8) using spinners with OnItemSelectedListeners. It was built with tarketSdkVersion = 8 and minSdkVersion = 8. I am now trying to run it on a 3.2 device, but the spinners can not be selected. They do populate with the default array value however, so the adapter appears to be working. Clicking on the spinners results in no reaction. I tried building with tarketSdkVersion = 13 and minSdkVersion = 13, but the spinners are still dead. I am using slightly customized spinner versions to achieve “wrap_content” in a multiline_spinner_dropdown_item.xml file. Is there a compatibility issue with spinners since 2.2?

    I tried the .setEnabled(true) but it didn’t work. In frustration, I started to remove sections of code from main.java and layout.xml until a single spinner was left and working. As I added the code and controls back, I found that a ScrollView nestled inside a TabHost/LinearLayout/TabWidget/FrameLayout prevented the Spinners from responding. By removing the Scrollview, the Spinners worked in 3.2. For some reason the Scrollview worked in 2.2, but not 3.2.
