title: Android Spinner getView
body: <p>I'm creating a custom adapter and using the getView method in attempt to display a default text only ONCE. Now I'm having a problem such that when I click the first Item in the list, the default text is kept but that doesn't hold for any other items? Any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks! (My code is a bit messy as I was just trying to debug)</p>
  
  <pre><code>boolean firstTime = true;
  
  @Override
  public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
  
      if (firstTime) {
          firstTime = false;
          TextView firstView = new TextView(ForgotPasswordActivity.this);
          firstView.setText("Please select School");
          return firstView;
      }
      TextView view = new TextView(ForgotPasswordActivity.this);
      view.setText("Hello");
      return view;
  }
  </code></pre>
