I have set a dynamic value in a spinner . I am using following code for the same.

spinner_generalbooks.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, new String[]{"Author","ISBN","Keyword","Title"}));

It is working fine, but I have a problem with the view of the spinner . If we select simple_spinner_item, it is ok in normal state, but when we want to change it, the rows are very narrow and not CheckedTextView whereas in normal spinner options comes with CheckedTextView. If we select simple_spinner_dropdown_item, the options come with CheckedTextView, but in normal state, it looks different as in the pic

(First one is default spinner and second one is using simple_spinner_dropdown_item).

First one is default spinner and second one is using <code>simple_spinner_dropdown_item</code>

I want to show the spinner just like as default spinner. How to make it?

    Android will take the layout specified in the adapter and use it for the control and the items unless you specify the view-resource separately. The way through this is to set the layout to simple_item in the ArrayAdapter constructor and then set the layout dropdown_item separately in a call to setDropDownViewResource().

    ArrayAdapter newAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, new String[]{"Author","ISBN","Keyword","Title"});

newAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);

spinner_generalbooks.setAdapter(newAdapter);
