I have edited the spinner image by changing the color of it. Then used the draw9patch.bat tool to create it into a proper 9-patch file, and then renamed it to spinner_updated.9.png, then I placed it into my "res/drawable" folder. So I then checked out this link just to get an idea of implementing a custom spinner:

How to create android spinner without down triangle on the right side of the widget

I tried using lencinhaus & Aleadam ways but when I try to actually use it in my app I keep getting the error: 

Failed to convert @android:drawable/spinner_updated into a drawable
Couldn't resolve resource @android:drawable/spinner_updated

What am I doing wrong? What would I do once I have the image I want to use for my spinner to actually get it displaying in the app?

If you are using your own drawable you need to use:

@drawable/spinner_updated

The @android: directs the app to look in Android's built-in resources not your own.
