How to edit Widget.Spinner press effect for color change in Android

Question

I am using following style to show spinner which is having custom style

         <TableRow
                android:id="@+id/tblRwSpn11"
                style="@style/TableRowStyle" >

                <Spinner
                    android:id="@+id/btnDashCust1"
                    style="@style/ButtonStyleSpinner1"
                    android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
                    android:layout_span="2"
                    android:textSize="10sp" />
            </TableRow>

 <style name="ButtonStyleSpinner1" parent="@android:style/Widget.Spinner">
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/black</item>
        <item name="android:layout_height">35dp</item>
        <item name="android:layout_marginLeft">10dp</item>
        <item name="android:layout_marginRight">10dp</item>
        <item name="android:paddingLeft">15dp</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/twelveTextSize</item>        
    </style>
in my SDK style.xml


 <style name="Widget.Spinner">
        <item name="android:background">@android:drawable/btn_dropdown</item>
        <item name="android:clickable">true</item>
        <item name="android:spinnerMode">dialog</item>

        <item name="android:dropDownSelector">@android:drawable/list_selector_background</item>
        <item name="android:popupBackground">@android:drawable/spinner_dropdown_background</item>
        <item name="android:dropDownVerticalOffset">-10dip</item>
        <item name="android:dropDownHorizontalOffset">0dip</item>
        <item name="android:dropDownWidth">wrap_content</item>
        <item name="android:popupPromptView">@android:layout/simple_dropdown_hint</item>
        <item name="android:gravity">center</item>
    </style>

and @android:drawable/btn_dropdown as follows

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:state_window_focused="false" android:state_enabled="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/btn_dropdown_normal" />
    <item
        android:state_window_focused="false" android:state_enabled="false"
        android:drawable="@drawable/btn_dropdown_disabled" />
    <item
        android:state_pressed="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/btn_dropdown_pressed" />
    <item
        android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/btn_dropdown_selected" />
    <item
        android:state_enabled="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/btn_dropdown_normal" />
    <item
        android:state_focused="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/btn_dropdown_disabled_focused" />
    <item
        android:drawable="@drawable/btn_dropdown_disabled" />
</selector>

output :

Just write a basic Adapter extends ArrayAdapter<Type> like doing as List View.

Override getView method for that view that you want to change.

Override getDropDown view that opened when spinner pressed.

Lastly dont forget to call Spinner.setAdapter(mAdapter)

And you can use your custom layouts to change colors or anything you want.

Good luck there.

thank you for help i am already using custom spinner with custom style plz read code posted – Aditi K Sep 09 '14 at 05:55
What i am saying you dont need to custom style. You can do it by custom layouts which has selector at backgrounds. Also dont forget to add clickable=true at the root layout of your cell. – Emre Aktürk Sep 09 '14 at 06:13
