I am trying to add spinner to my action bar. I am using the cusome spinner. Here is the code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    style="@style/block" >

    <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/action_bar_spinner"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:gravity="center" />

</RelativeLayout>

And here is the code that I am inflating in the getView method of the SpinnerAdapter to get the custom title of the spinner. Its a Text view.

android:id="@+id/spinner_title"
        style="@style/text_title"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:ellipsize="end"
        android:gravity="right"
        android:singleLine="true"
        android:text="@string/list_header"
        android:enabled="false"

Everything is working fine. But I am getting an underline below the title of the spinner and I want to change the default grey color of the triangle on the right side of the spinner title.

Please advise.

Its a simple spinner with Text in the middle of the action bar like Sample the problem is its underlined and the triangle color on the right of it is default grey. I need to change it. – MobileAppDeveloper Dec 26 '13 at 13:22

The underline together with the triangle is a nine-patch resource which is the default background of the Spinner. You cannot change the color of the triangle through xml or through code. You'll have to change the entire background.
