How to change spinner text size and text color?
android, spinner
Solution
Make a custom XML file for your spinner item.
spinner_item.xml:
Give your customized color and size to text in this file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="20sp"
android:gravity="left"
android:textColor="#FF0000"
android:padding="5dip"
/>
Now use this file to show your spinner items like:
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.spinner_item,list);
You don't need to set the drop down resource. It will take `spinner_item.xml` only to show your items in spinner.
Problem
In my Android application, I am using spinner, and I have loaded data from the SQLite database into the spinner, and it's working properly. Here is the code for that. ``` Spinner spinner = (Spinner) this.findViewById(R.id.spinner1); List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(); ArrayAdapter<String> dataAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String> (this,android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, list); cursor.moveToFirst(); list.add("All Lists"); if (cursor.getCount() > 0) { for (int i = 0; i < cursor.getCount(); i++) { keyList[i] = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(AndroidOpenDbHelper.KEYWORD)); list.add(keyList[i]); cursor.moveToNext(); } } Database.close(); cursor.close(); dataAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); spinner.setAdapter(dataAdapter); ``` Now I want to change the text color and text size of spinner data. I have used following XML lines to my spinner tag on my XML file, but it is not working. ``` android:textColor="@android:color/white" android:textSize="11dp" ``` How can I change the text color and text size of my spinner?
