How to get a callback when a Spinner popup dialog is dismissed?

I have an Android Spinner and I'd like to get a callback when the user selects something from its popup dialog. It seems like setOnItemClickListener() or setOnItemSelectedListener() would be the right method to use, but neither get invoked when I select one of the items in the spinner.

Is there a correct way to do this?

UPDATE

Per commonsware's suggestion, I did the following, but my onItemSelected() method is never being called:

    final Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);

    spinner.setAdapter( new ArrayAdapter<SettingValue>(getContext(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1, setting.getSettingValues() ) );
    spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener( new OnItemSelectedListener() {

        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
            Log.d("BOOGA");
            final SettingValue settingValue = (SettingValue)parent.getSelectedItem();
            final Editor edit = getContext().getSharedPreferences( PREFS_CONTEXT_NAME, Context.MODE_PRIVATE).edit();
            edit.putString(setting.name(), settingValue.name());
            edit.commit();
        }

        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
            // do nothing
        }

    });

Use setOnItemSelectedListener(). Here is one of my book examples:
