Text color of a closed spinner
android, spinner, textcolor
Solution
I understand that the closed spinner is actually a View, I think.
Yes. Specifically, it is whatever you told your `SpinnerAdapter` to create.
But I am guessing it has a TextView there somewhere to show the text.
That would depend on what you told your `SpinnerAdapter` to create.
How do I get access to that TextView so I can change the textcolor?
Ideally, you don't -- you give it the right color in the first place, via whatever you told your `SpinnerAdapter` to create. If the color varies, override `getView()` in your `SpinnerAdapter` and change the color at that point.
In a pinch, you can try calling `getSelectedView()` to get the current `View` being shown by the closed `Spinner`, but whatever change you make here may be eliminated on the user's next selection, and the alternate color may return later on if the earlier `View` gets recycled.

EDIT: I need to change this programatically on the fly, not in the XML. ``` TextView v = (TextView) getView(mySpinner); v.setTextColor(..... ``` This doesnt work... Thank you! ``` array_typ=new String[5]; array_typ[0]="Pressure"; array_typ[1]="Level"; array_typ[2]="Overage"; array_typ[3]="Under"; array_typ[4]="Taken"; adaptertyp = new ArrayAdapter<Object>(this,R.layout.simple_spinner_item, array_typ); typ.setAdapter(adaptertyp); ```
