Setting spinner popup background color

Question

I can set the background of the popup menu of a spinner using:

<Spinner
   android:popupBackground="@color/darkThemeBackgroundColor"/>

But how do I set the background text color of it?

This solution is more simpler, you only need add this code to styles.xml

<style name="spinnerTheme">
    <item name="android:background">@color/colorDark</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/white</item>
    
    <!-- this is for api 19 text color -->
    <item name="android:color">@android:color/white</item>
</style>

And this is how use in your layout file

 <Spinner
    android:id="@+id/spinner"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
    android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
    android:padding="8dp"
    android:entries="@array/aves"
    android:theme="@style/spinnerTheme"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

That is the result:

I hope this solution helps you, greetings.
