you can use this :

Drawable spinnerDrawable = mySpinner.getBackground().getConstantState().newDrawable();
    spinnerDrawable.setColorFilter(getResources().getColor(R.color.blue_m), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);

if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) 
{
 mySpinner.setBackground(spinnerDrawable);
} else {
 mySpinner.setBackgroundDrawable(spinnerDrawable);
}

I'm not a android specialist but does this help you?: The Spinner button uses a nine-patch image (http://www.aspose.com/java/imaging-component.aspx). You need to make a nine-patch image in all the different resolutions and then set it as the spinner's background.

See: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/draw9patch.html

You can set the spinners background color in xml like this:

android:background="YOUR_HEX_COLOR_CODE"

You can also set a drawable in the background

android:background=@drawable/my_spinner
