Well, should've seen that coming. How I understood it you'd use tags only with multiple spinners to differentiate them, but guess with just a single one they also work great. Thanks, I'll see how it works out!

frank: I would also use tag with just one

Spinner

. Not to identify, but just to find it 🙂

Thanks for the help, probably would've taken longer otherwise. I took a closer look at the recent developments of RxBinding and it turns out that my issue is solved in RxBinding2 (snapshot). Last week they introduced a new option

.skipInitialValue()

which leaves the original value of the spinner out. So all that remains now are the duplicate results, which I can just filter out with

.distinct()

, so no need for any workarounds 🙂 .
