Answer 1

As described in the accepted answer of the question, @GursewakSingh referred to, you need to create a custom adapter and implement getView() and getDropdownView() to return different views.

For your case, you will want getView() to return a view that just shows the flag image, and getDropdownView() to return a view that shows the flag and the name of the country.

The spinner view will use getView() to show the spinner's normal view and getDropdownView() to render the items of the dropdown list.

Use this hopefully its work fine

// array of data icons from source
   private static Integer[] imageIcons = { R.drawable.a, R.drawable.b, 
 R.drawable.c };

 // call adapter from main class
    SimpleImageArrayAdapter adapter = new SimpleImageArrayAdapter(context, imageIcons );
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);

// adapter class 
  public class SimpleImageArrayAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Integer> {
    private Integer[] images;

    SimpleImageArrayAdapter(Context context, Integer[] images) {
        super(context, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, images);
        this.images = images;
    }

    @Override
    public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        return getImageForPosition(position);
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        return getImageForPosition(position);
    }

    private View getImageForPosition(int position) {
        ImageView imageView = new ImageView(getContext());
        imageView.setBackgroundResource(images[position]);
        imageView.setLayoutParams(new AbsListView.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
        return imageView;
    }
}

}
