Change text color of selected item in spinner

Question

How can I change the font color of the selected item in a spinner?

I am able to change the background color of the selected item, the color of the dropdown item etc,

Answer 1

drawable/mybg:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_activated="true">
        <color android:color="@color/black" />
    </item>
</layer-list>

This will change the selected item color in the popup.

Answer 2

Define OnItemSelectedListener like this:

  private AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener listener = new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
            ((TextView) parent.getChildAt(0)).setTextColor(0x00000000);
        }

        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {

        }
    };

and then Set OnItemSelectedListener to spinner like this:

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(listener);
