private OnItemSelectedListener OnCatSpinnerCL = new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() { public void onItemSelected(AdapterView parent, View view, int pos, long id) {

    ((TextView) parent.getChildAt(0)).setTextColor(Color.BLUE);
    ((TextView) parent.getChildAt(0)).setTextSize(5);



}

public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {

}

};

if your simple_spinner_item.xml contains the background color for your spinner item then use

dataAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.simple_spinner_item); instead of dataAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);

similarly,

dataAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.simple_spinner_item); instead of dataAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);

you might also have to change the layout set in the ArrayAdapter to a custom layout to solve the issue.
