How do I apply a style to all spinners of an Android application

Question

Applying a button style to entire app:

<style name="ApplicationStyle" parent="android:Theme">
  <item name="android:buttonStyle">@style/MyButton</item>
</style>

but how do you do for a spinner? I want to do it like in my example...and substitute spinner ..i.e: "android:spinnerStyle" ?

Its not a duplicate . The link you reference concerns the spinner drop down. I need the actual spinner widget — Mike6679, Jan 25 '13 at 11:39

Yes I've seen that link. It uses the manifest to add a theme. I want to do it like in my example...and substitute spinner. — Mike6679, Jan 25 '13 at 11:33

manifest:

<application 
        android:icon="@drawable/icon_new"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/ApplicationStyle"

style.xml:

<style name="holoSpinner" parent="@android:style/Theme">
      <item name="android:background">@drawable/spinner_holo_sel</item>
      <item name="android:clickable">true</item>
      <item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
      <item name="android:textColor">#959494</item>
      <item name="android:textStyle">normal</item>
      <item name="android:paddingTop">8dip</item>
      <item name="android:paddingBottom">8dip</item>
      <item name="android:paddingRight">12dip</item>
      <item name="android:paddingLeft">12dip</item>
    </style>

<style name="ApplicationStyle" parent="android:Theme">
           <item name="android:spinnerStyle">@style/holoSpinner</item>
           <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
           <item name="android:editTextStyle">@style/holoEditText</item>
        </style>
