Answer 1

I feel it's time to start migrating from ABS to ABC easily by ActionBarCompat library!

Solution for spinner (Dropdown list) using ActionBarCompat library

private void setupSpinner(MenuItem item) {
    //  item.setVisible(getSupportActionBar().getNavigationMode() == ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_LIST);
        item.setVisible(ab.getNavigationMode() == ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_LIST);

        View view = item.getActionView();
        Context context = ab.getThemedContext(); //to get the declared theme
        if (view instanceof Spinner) {
            Spinner spinner = (Spinner) view;

            ArrayAdapter listAdapter =ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(context,
                    R.array.spinner_data,
                    R.layout.support_simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
            listAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.support_simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
            spinner.setAdapter(listAdapter);



        }
