If you want to see the checkboxes in the dropdown menu while using your own layout:

ArrayAdapter adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
            mContext, R.array.room_list, R.layout.spinner_layout);
    adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
    yourSpinner.setAdapter(adapter);

Please notice the "android" before "R.layout...." in the line where you put the drop down view resource!
