Not sure if anyone is still using Spinners in 2020, but here's a Kotlin version of this solution (https://stackoverflow.com/a/22216375/6007104):

class MySpinnerAdapter(context: Context, images: Array) :
    ArrayAdapter(context, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, images) {

    override fun getDropDownView(position: Int, convertView: View?, parent: ViewGroup) =
        getImageForPosition(position)

    override fun getView(position: Int, convertView: View?, parent: ViewGroup) =
        getImageForPosition(position)

    private fun getImageForPosition(position: Int) = ImageView(context).apply {
        setBackgroundResource(getItem(position)!!)
        layoutParams = ViewGroup.LayoutParams(WRAP_CONTENT, WRAP_CONTENT)
    }
}
