Solution 1
Use Custom ArrayAdapter or Custom Spinner.
Have you seen http://www.coderzheaven.com/2011/02/20/how-to-create-custom-layout-for-your-spinner-in-android-or-customizable-spinner-2/?
Solution 2
Create a xml file for your spinner item. and put it in layout folder
spinner_view.xml:
<TextView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="left"
android:textColor="@color/green"
/>
and finally in your code.
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.spinner_view,yourList);

I'm having problems with setting text color for the Spinner. I've seen few examples but most have ArrayAdapter and String array fromstrings.xml
inres folder
as my Spinner's items are retrieved from SQLite Database so I think it may not help.Here are my Spinner's codes PersonalInformation.java
public class PersonalInformation extends Activity { EditText txtLikes, txtDislikes, txtType, txtDate; Button btnView, btnBack; Spinner nameSpinner; final Context context = this; private int namesSpinnerId; LikesDBAdapter likeDB = new LikesDBAdapter(this); DislikesDBAdapter dlikeDB = new DislikesDBAdapter(this); @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.info); BuddyDBAdapter buddyDB = new BuddyDBAdapter(this); buddyDB.open(); Cursor friendsCursor = buddyDB.getAllNames(); startManagingCursor(friendsCursor); String[] from = new String[]{BuddyDBAdapter.KEY_NAME}; int[] to = new int[]{R.id.name}; SimpleCursorAdapter friendsCursorAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, friendsCursor, from, to); friendsCursorAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); nameSpinner = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.nameSpinner); nameSpinner.setAdapter(friendsCursorAdapter); //buddyDB.close(); nameSpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() { @Override public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int pos, long id) { Cursor c = (Cursor)parent.getItemAtPosition(pos); namesSpinnerId = c.getInt(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(BuddyDBAdapter.KEY_ROWID)); } @Override public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub } }); buddyDB.close();
And, these are Spinner's layout codes in info.xml
<Spinner style="@style/SpinnerStyle" android:id="@+id/nameSpinner" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:prompt="@string/friends_prompt" android:textColor="@color/green" />
Please help me with how to set the items text color in Spinner.
