Android Spinner: onItemSelected listener is not called when selecting the same item

I have a requirement to show an AlertDialog when selecting the 2nd item in Spinner. I know that using onItemSelected we can listen to the spinner selection & show a popup. The issue is when I select the 2nd item, the dialog appears but after closing the dialog and then again we select the same item, it won't show the dialog as onItemSelected will not be invoked. Is there any workaround for this? Without using a custom Spinner implementation.

try the code below:

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);

@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) 
{
     switch(arg2)
     {
          case 0:
          {
               Dialog dialog = new Dialog(getApplicationContext());
               .......
               dialog.show();
               spinner.setSelection(0);
          }
          break;
     }
[...]

Create a custom spinner

import android.content.Context;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.Spinner;

public class CustomSpinner extends Spinner {
    OnItemSelectedListener listener;
    private AdapterView<?> lastParent;
    private View lastView;
    private long lastId;

    public CustomSpinner(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
        initlistner();
    }

    @Override
    public void setSelection(int position) {
        if (position == getSelectedItemPosition() && listener != null) {
            listener.onItemSelected(lastParent, lastView, position, lastId);
        } else {
            super.setSelection(position);
        }

    }

    private void initlistner() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {

            @Override
            public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                    int position, long id) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                lastParent = parent;
                lastView = view;
                lastId = id;
                if (listener != null) {
                    listener.onItemSelected(parent, view, position, id);
                }
            }

            @Override
            public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                if (listener != null) {
                    listener.onNothingSelected(parent);
                }
            }
        });

    }

    public void setOnItemSelectedEvenIfUnchangedListener(
            OnItemSelectedListener listener) {
        this.listener = listener;
    }

}

Set Listener

private OnItemSelectedListener listener;

listener = new OnItemSelectedListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
                int arg2, long arg3) {}

        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        }
    };

Pass the listener object to custom listener

cusSpinner.setOnItemSelectedEvenIfUnchangedListener(listener);
