Answer 1

You have to implement your own adapter that sets the title to empty string. This will do:

private static class CustomAdapter<T> extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
        public CustomAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId, String[] objects) {
            super(context, textViewResourceId, objects);
        }

        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
            TextView textView = (TextView) view.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
            textView.setText("");
            return view;
        }       
}

If your spinner has an id R.id.spinner in your layout set the adapter like this:

Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
CustomAdapter<String> adapter = new CustomAdapter<String>(this, 
    android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, new String[] {"Entry 1", "Entry 2"});
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);

Of course the new String[] part would depend on what you want to display in your spinner or where the content of the spinner origins from.

I think you should use Android QuickAction Widget.Link

Its an open source project in GitHub. Instead of Spinner you can use QucikAction. Its very looks attractive.

Make the string empty with " ". (i.e. two qoutation marks, with a space in the middle.)
