Continuing from my last comment above...

The following code modifies the Hello Spinner tutorial application to display the spinner text contents centered horizontally, as seen in the following two screenshots.

res/layout/my_spinner_textview.xml

public class HelloSpinner extends Activity
{
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
  {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
    ArrayAdapter adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.planets_array,
//        android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
        R.layout.my_spinner_textview);
//    adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
    adapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.my_spinner_textview);
    spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
    spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener());
  }

  //No other modification needed.

This hopefully provides enough direction to fix the problem.
