How do I set a different theme for a Spinner's dropdown?

Question

An example usage:

The Spinner is dark themed, but I want the dropdown to be light themed.

Answer 1

for spinner's arrow I've used android:backgroundTint="@color/white" this will work from API 21

for spinner view and dropdown view:

ArrayAdapter areasAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(getContext(),R.layout.spinner_item, areas);

areasAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.dropdwon_item);
areasSpinner.setAdapter(areasAdapter);

for getView() the adapter will use spinner_item.xml

for getDropDownView() the adapter will use dropdwon_item.xml

then you can use your custom layouts as you like

hope it helps
