I’m using default spinner 

<Spinner
  android:id="@+id/mySpinner"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"

ArrayAdapter<String> spinnerAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(), 
    android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);

spinnerAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
((Spinner)findViewById(R.id.mySpinner)).setAdapter(spinnerAdapter);

How come elements are on a white background and a foreground color gray? It seems strange to me…

    The reason is you set it with android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item.

    You can write your own Adapter class:

    Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.mySpinner);
spinner.setAdapter(new MyCustomAdapter(CLASS.this, R.layout.spinner_layout, spinnerAdapter));

    Then it will look like the way you design in spinner_layout.
