Is there any easy way to change Spinner dropdown color in Android?

Question

I create my theme to use with the app and the parent of the theme is Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar

by the way, I want white background and black text.

And this is adapter code

     val adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(activity,
                R.array.email_type_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item)

     adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item)
     child.spinner.adapter = adapter

Answer 1

yes. You can use following attribute fro spinner inside your xml

android:popupBackground="YOUR_HEX_COLOR_CODE"

to change textcolor etc Make a custom XML file for your spinner item.

spin_item.xml:

Then provide it your desired color and sizes :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<TextView  
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textSize="24sp"
    android:textColor="#000000"         
    android:padding="4dp"
    />

And then use it like this:

val adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(activity,
                R.array.email_type_array, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item)
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.spin_item)
