The best way is to create your own xml file with a customized design, such as "dropdown.xml"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/textAutoComplete"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="#F3F5E1"
    android:gravity="center_vertical"
    android:padding="5dp" />

and in your code use this

AutoCompleteTextView etChoose= (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.etChoose);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapterChoose = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,R.layout.dropdown, ChooseList);
