An example usage:

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

Just for reference if you use the CursorAdapter your implementation can be much easier, just override newView(), no need to override getDropDownView() there:

@Override
public View newView(Context context, Cursor cursor, ViewGroup parent) {
    return mDropDownHelper.getDropDownViewInflater().inflate(R.layout.list_item, parent, false);
}
