        // Apply the adapter to the spinner
        spinner2.setAdapter(adapterEmpty);
    }

Answer 1

when you select one of your first spinner Items you can use code below in first spinner onItemSelected() method to clear your second spinner.

 Spinner2.setAdapter(null)

Answer 2

You have called spinner2List.clear(); but haven't notified the adapter by using notifyDataSetChanged(); method.
