Why doesn't android:clickable="false" work for Spinner?

Question

The following spinner is still clickable to show the list:

<Spinner
    android:id="@+id/spinnerFoo"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:layout_marginLeft="15dp"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:clickable="false"/>

Could anyone shed some light on this? I know from my reading that one can disable a spinner by doing it in Java code (spinnerFoo.setEnabled(false). My question is about doing it in XML.

[EDIT] The following is all the Java code using the spinner:

ArrayAdapter<Integer> adapterFoo = new ArrayAdapter<Integer>(this, R.layout.spinner_item, aiFoo);
spinnerFoo = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinnerFoo );
spinnerFoo .setAdapter(adapterFoo );
spinnerFoo .setSelection(1);

Clickable is not going to stop the spinner from opening because it does not depend on click event.You have to use android:enabled="false"

EDIT You can set this in the Java code itself, instead of in the XML, because the Spinner should implement setEnabled(boolean) from View
