Not quite sure if this is possible solution will help (you may have a particular reason to try it your way), but in the past I've just added the Prompt text to the top of the Spinner string-array (at position 0), and then it shows by default in the widget. Then, in 'onItemSelected', I ignore anything if pos == 0.
