How to change spinner text color

Question

I saw many topics about how to change spinner\'s text color,but i couldnt understand how to use

spinner_item.xml

Answer 1

This is the simplest Method which I executed for spinner's text. I know its late but it will help some one.

select_gender.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
  // give the color which ever you want to give to spinner item in this line of code               
            ((TextView)parent.getChildAt(position)).setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#646b99"));
            spinner_selected_gender=gender_list.get(position);
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"You selected"+spinner_selected_gender,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

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

        }
    });

Answer 2

I have done this as following: I have used the getDropDownView() and getView() methods.

Use getDropDownView() for opened Spinner.

@Override
public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
     View view = convertView;
     if (view == null) {
        LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater) activity
                         .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        view = vi.inflate(R.layout.context_row_icon, null);
     }
     TextView mTitle = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.context_label);
     ImageView flag = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.context_icon);               

     mTitle.setText(values[position].getLabel(activity));

     if (!((LabelItem) getItem(position)).isEnabled()) {
          mTitle.setTextColor(activity.getResources().getColor(
               R.color.context_item_disabled));
     } else {
          mTitle.setTextColor(activity.getResources().getColor(
              R.color.context_item));
     }
     return view;
}

And use getView() for closed Spinner.

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
     View view = convertView;
     if (view == null) {
         LayoutInflater vi = (LayoutInflater) activity
             .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
         view = vi.inflate(R.layout.context_row_icon, null);
     }
     TextView mTitle = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.context_label);
     ImageView flag = (ImageView) view.findViewById(R.id.context_icon);

     mTitle.setText(values[position].getLabel(activity));

     mTitle.setTextColor(activity.getResources().getColor(
           R.color.context_item_disabled));

     return view;
}
