Android Question Dropdown Spinner

[Declan]

I have a Spinner view that I populate from a database.

    'Fill the tools id spinner (aka combo box).
    DBUtils.ExecuteSpinner(SQL, "SELECT Id FROM Tools", Null, 0, spnrViewTools)

This works cool.
However, is it possible for the Spinner view to "Dropdown" via code once populated?
I don't want the user to have to "click" on the Spinner to view the populated data.

That's how Spinner work.
If you want to show the list you should use a ListView instead of a Spinner.

OK
I have the Spinner in a Panel and when it loads it just shows the "Blank" Spinner.
Is it possible to either:
Have some text shown in the Spinner to prompt he user to click?
OR
Have the first "Id" field visible in the Spinner?

Have the first "Id" field visible in the Spinner?

Have you looked at the documentation of the spinner object?

Spinner1.AddAll(Array As String("Sunday", "Monday", ...))
Spinner1.SelectedIndex = 0

I use this:

Sub OpenSpinner(s as Spinner)
    Dim r As Reflector
    r.Target = s
    r.RunMethod("performClick")
End Sub
