In my string array i have a long text that I want to display in my Spinner(this Spinner is in a dialog)..i tried the below code

 spinner1 = (Spinner) dialog.findViewById(R.id.quesspinner);
 ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(activity,
                    android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, R.array.fbquestion);
            arrayAdapter .setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.textview);
            spinner1.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);

and my text view as below

<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@android:id/text1"
    style="?android:attr/spinnerDropDownItemStyle"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"
