What are you talking about prompt? I'm confused by what you mean.

Prompt as in the text that is first displayed on the dropdown before something 
is chosen.  after it is chosen, i tell it to set text (sorry should have said 
text instead of prompt) to the choice the user made.

before they choose anything though, it should be using what i have chosen in 
the GLE to be the text something like "please pick a choice" should show.  
Instead, if the choices are (choice 1, choice 2, choice 3, choice 4), it 
dispalys "choice 1"

Ok, after looking in the class, I just never noticed the prompt thing. I'll add 
a method in the next version. For now, you can use 
dropdown.getView().setPrompt("This is my prompt");

Sorry, you have to cast it, this is the correct line:
((Spinner)dd.getView()).setPrompt("The prompt");

So first I want to say Thank you, as I did not notice the Prompt either...that 
is not however what I originally was reporting.  I should have included 
pictures (which I will from now on).  Please see screenshots

That's been there the whole time. Use setSelection(String element) to set the 
default selection.
