[android-developers] Spinner Styling - Am I Nuts??
Hey guys! I have a spinner backed up by an ArrayAdapter in my layout. I'd like to change the look of the spinner button to match the buttons that are next to it. Here is my Spinner xml: Spinner android:id=@+id/location_type_spinner style=@android:style/Widget.Button android:layout_width=0dp android:layout_height=fill_parent android:layout_weight=.33 android:background=@drawable/control_bar_background android:gravity=center android:textColor=#FF00 android:textSize=12dp / While the bounds of the button (it fills the width/height/weight correctly) and the background work, the text is larger and the gravity is not centered. I'm going nuts trying to fix this! What am I missing? Is there a different style I need to use or something like that? Thanks!

Kostya, Thanks for the response. Just to clarify, the getView in the adapter sets the BUTTON? I thought that set the view for the actual menu of items?

Re: [android-developers] Spinner Styling - Am I Nuts??
The button? There is no button. If you're on Android 2.*, the little arrow on the right side (which is used to show the item list) is part of the spinner's background... except I see you've specified your own. The text you see inside the spinner is part of the view provided by the spinner's adapter. The centering, and text size, or its color, if any, would need to be provided by the adapter's getView(). -- K 2012/7/26 Evan Ruff evan.r...@gmail.com Kostya, Thanks for the response.
