title: Android Spinner Control - Presetting an item as being selected
body: <p>My spinner control is displaying fine no problem.  When someone is in create mode they are able to selected a value which I am able to record and store in my database.</p>
  
  <p>But I have a problem when someone is in edit mode and I want to display the list but have one of the items (say the third) selected.  I can't see how to do that.  All the tutorials talk about how to populate the spinner but not how to preset one as being selected.</p>
  
  <pre><code>this.ddlCategory = (Spinner)this.findViewById(R.id.add_edit_place_ddlCategory);
      ArrayAdapter adpt = new ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, categories);
      adpt.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
      this.ddlCategory.setAdapter(adpt);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please help
