copied!<p>I had this same problem and found a solution. </p> <p>I wanted the text to wrap in the initial display and in the dropdown view as well.</p> <p>The text was wrapping in the initial display and for the dropdown I had found another solution recommending the use a custom view of a linear layout with fixed width enclosing a textview. This made the dropdown of the spinner look correct, as well as that of the initial selection. However, this caused a major problem on older devices.</p> <p>The initial display would not refresh and the text took on a stacked look if I tried to select something else. and since it stacked downward adding a background didn't help. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/XOqPC.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>As it turns out adapters have a method called setDropDownViewResource() which allows you to set a different view for the dropdown than what is displayed in the spinner's initial selection. </p> <pre><code> import org.holoeverywhere.widget.Spinner; ArrayAdapter adapter1 = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this,R.array.array_of_strings,R.layout.simple_list_item_1); adapter1.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.my_simple_list_item_1); spQ1.setAdapter(adapter1); </code></pre> <p>in this example the simple_list_item is the default view supplied by android and my_simple_list_item is</p> <pre><code><LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="300dp" android:layout_height="wrap_content" > <TextView android:id="@+id/android:text1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="50dp" android:ellipsize="marquee" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:singleLine="false"/> </LinearLayout> </code></pre> <p>Now the text wraps inside the dropdown view of the spinner AND in the spinners displayed selection. </p>
