Android autocompletetextview dropdown box's elements have a large font

Question

I would like to change the autocomplete dropdown boxes element size to something smaller. Any change i do with textview.settextsize affects only the value in the fieldbox and not in the drop down box!

I am adding the list items dynamically and my adapter is set to the resource

adapterForFromAutoText.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line);

Should i add my own resource to customize the style of the font, if so does it matter that i use adapterForFromAutoText.add(displayName); to dynamically add data through the adapter.

Answer 1

Do you have the attribute "android:textSize" within your "android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line"? You may want to try to change the textSize there.

Use This Layout , It will change the autocomplete dropdown boxes element size to smaller

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
            this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, aList);
