//to change the spinner background

  android:background="@android:color/transparent"

Answer 2

try this code:

        <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/spinner"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="4dip"
        android:theme="@style/SpinnerTheme"
        android:popupBackground="@android:color/transparent"/>

add style in res/values/styles.xml

<style name="SpinnerTheme">
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/blue_pastels</item>
    <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/blue_pastels</item>
</style>
<style name="RadioButtonStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/black</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/black</item>
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/black</item>
</style>

in java code add :

    spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(this);
    List type = new ArrayList();
    type.add("12");
    type.add("13");
    type.add("14");
    type.add("11");
    ArrayAdapter dataAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(context, R.layout.spinner_item, type );
    dataAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.spinner_item_dropdown);
    spinner.setAdapter(dataAdapter);

create res/layout/spinner_item.xml and add this code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

android:id="@android:id/text1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="14sp"
android:gravity="center"
android:textColor="@color/white_00" />

create res/layout/spinner_item_dropdown.xml and add this code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<CheckedTextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/text1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:textColor="@color/black"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:paddingStart="12dip"
android:paddingEnd="7dip"
android:layout_margin="20dip"
android:checkMark="?android:attr/listChoiceIndicatorSingle"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:theme="@style/RadioButtonStyle"
android:textSize="14sp"

android:background="@color/TRANSPARENT"
android:backgroundTint="@color/theme_gray_10"
android:backgroundTintMode="src_over"
/>

Answer 5

Make one custom file in drawable folder.

1) mybackground.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="@color/yourcolorName" />
  <item android:drawable="@android:color/transparent" />
</selector>

and set it as spinner background -

android:background="@drawable/mybackground"

2) You can also do this in your layout for spinner

android:popupBackground="@android:color/transparent"

Answer 6

Use

<Spinner
 android:background="@null"
 android:popupBackground="@android:color/transparent"/>
