I have been unable to set the color on the spinner widget. How is this styled?

Simple and crisp ....
private OnItemSelectedListener your_spinner _name= new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView> parent, View view, int pos,
long id) {
((TextView) parent.getChildAt(0)).setTextColor(Color.BLUE);
}
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView> parent) {
}
};
