This worked for me:

<style name="SpinnerStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.ListView.DropDown">
        <item name="android:divider">#d1d1d1</item>
        <item name="android:dividerHeight">0.5dp</item>
    </style>

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="android:dropDownListViewStyle">@style/SpinnerStyle</item>

The advantage of using this is that it doesn't remove the ripple effect on hover.
