Still thinking about how I will solve this problem. I would like to keep using spinners ... and I can´t find a tutorial on how to create a custom layout for the spinner´s options list. The usage of textviews + listviews is not as intuitive as a spinner ....
Is there a way to use simple_spinner_dropdown_item and not to display the big round buttons on the spinner after an option is choosen? Also, any other ideas on how to fix this motorola firmware bug?
