Spinner onClick show DatePicker Dialog

I want to focus on a Spinner by using the trackball, Click it and then get a DatePicker dialog. I don't actually want to use the spinner idea i just want it to look like it is a spinner. But some problems arise

1.It's not possible to get focus on a spinner unless there are items in it

2.It's not possible to use the onClick() method with a spinner

3.I can't find a way to open a Dialog with the Spinner view.

Probably i'am putting too much effort in it while i could just use a TextView / Button / editText / imageView that i can click on to create a date开发者_运维知识库Pick dialog.

Or maybe there's someone with a simple solution?
