List<String> list, list1,list2,list3;
private String[] countries_list={"01","02","03","04","05","06","07","08","09","10","11","12"};
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.topup);
spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1);
spin1= (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner2);
spin2= (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner3);
spin3= (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner4);
ed = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText3);
list = new ArrayList<String>();

ArrayAdapter<String> adp = new ArrayAdapter<String>
(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, list);
//adp.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adp);
spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {
//@Override
public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View arg1,int arg2, long arg3) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String item = spinner.getItemAtPosition(1).toString();
//Toast.makeText(spinner.getContext(), "Selected: " + item, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
String ss=spinner.getSelectedItem().toString();
String
}
public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

Basically one needs to create a custom background for a spinner. It should be something like this:
spinner_background.xml
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<layer-list>
<item>
<color
android:color="@android:color/white"/>
</item>
<item>
<bitmap
android:gravity="center_vertical|right"
android:src="@drawable/ic_arrow_drop_down_black_24dp"/>
</item>
</layer-list>
</item>
</selector>
Then create a custom style for your spinner, where you specify the above selector as background:
<style name="Widget.App.Spinner" parent="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Spinner">
<item name="overlapAnchor">true</item>
<item name="android:background">@drawable/spinner_background</item>
</style>
And finally in your app theme you should override two attributes if you want it to be applied all across your app:
<item name="spinnerStyle">@style/Widget.App.Spinner</item>
<item name="android:spinnerStyle">@style/Widget.App.Spinner</item>
And that's pretty much it.
