I've been trying to do this for a couple of days so I thought I would share how I eventually did it.
I created a new xml file with the name spinnerrow.xml (Notice that there are no underscores and no caps, I had trouble with xml files with those characters) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <CheckedTextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textSize="5pt" android:singleLine="True" android:id="@+id/spinnerTarget" android:textColor="#000000" android:gravity="center" /> In my main xml file I had the following definition: <Spinner android:id="@+id/Spinner01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:hint="Click to change compounding type" android:text="text"/> In my java file I had the following in the onCreate section: Spinner mySpinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.Spinner01); ArrayAdapter <CharSequence> mySpinnerArrayAdapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.compoundingSpinner, R.layout.spinnerrow); mySpinnerArrayAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item); mySpinner.setAdapter(mySpinnerArrayAdapter); mySpinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener()); I was in the process of creating a custom ArrayAdapter but realized that I had what I was looking for without it.
