disabled

I use two Spinner in my App. One of them is initially disabled because I need the user to select something in the first spinner to load the content of the second one.

I would like to change the design of the second spinner to show the user that the spinner is not active, eg. grey the spinner out. How can I achieve this?

If this is not possible how would you change this dialog to make it clear to the user that she has to select something in the first spinner?
