OK guys the truth is somewhere in the middle cause you have to see the issue from the parent's view and child's. The solution below works ONLY when spinner mode = dialog regardless of Android version (no problem there.. tested it in VD and DesireS with Android =>2.2) :

1. .Set you spinner's(the parent) mode like :

   android:spinnerMode="dialog"  
   

2. Set the textview's(child custom view) properties to :

   android:layout_weight="1"  
   android:ellipsize="none"  
   android:maxLines="100"  
   android:scrollHorizontally="false"
   

I hope this works for you also.
