Put the android spinner at a "zero" scroll position while having the setSelection a few positions down

Question

I've noticed that when I use an android spinner and specify e.g. setSelection(2) from the code behind, the scroll position of the spinner will start at position 2. I think a user easily may miss that there are actually 2 available options above this position. So instead I want to set the scroll position to "zero". My preselected option would then appear as the third option when the spinner is showed. I've tried using setScroll(0, 0) from code behind put it does not seem to work. Any ideas?
