Removing margin from spinner dropdown

I have a spinner like the image below; How can I remove the gap on the left x between the spinner and its dropdown - preferably a solution that works on API8 as I am trying to keep my app requirements as low as possible. I had assumed this would be layout_margin in the spinners style, but after reading this question it seems thats not possible. In my theme I have; ``` <style name="AppTheme" parent="AppBaseTheme"> <item name="android:dropDownListViewStyle">@style/DropDownStyle</item> <item name="android:dropDownSelector">@style/DropDownStyle</item> </style> <style name="DropDownTopStyle"> <item name="android:clickable">true</item> <item name="android:background">@drawable/dropdowntop</item> </style> <style name="DropDownStyle"> <item name="android:layout_width">fill_parent</item> <item name="android:layout_height">fill_parent</item> <item name="android:layout_marginLeft">0dp</item> <item name="android:layout_margin">0dp</item> <item name="android:clickable">true</item> <item name="android:background">@drawable/dropdownback</item> <item name="android:popupBackground">@drawable/dropdownback</item> <item name="android:cacheColorHint">#FFF000</item> </style> ``` Thanks, Thomas Additional; I can see there might be a way to make a popup myself in code - if this is necessary, can I somehow get to the adapters popup view? (that is the list that it displays). Trying to recreate the whole adapters behavior from scratch seems a terrible way to go - but if I can get to that view and disable the normal popup behavior, then I could make my own popup without the annoying offset.
