Just add this to your adapter.

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

Answer 2

Maybe it can help..

ArrayAdapter<String> yourSpinnerAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                R.layout.spinner_item, yourItem) {

        @Override
        public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView,
                ViewGroup parent) {
            convertView = super.getDropDownView(position, convertView,
                    parent);

            convertView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
            ViewGroup.LayoutParams p = convertView.getLayoutParams();
            p.height = 100; // set the height
            convertView.setLayoutParams(p);

            return convertView;
        }
    };

In loginrowspinner.xml, add android:minHeight="48dp" to TextView element.

 <TextView 
     ...
     android:id="@+id/textViewRowFacility"
     android:minHeight="48dp" />

Answer 4

Create your own textview in layout folder like this which will be populated in dropdown popup

<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@android:id/text1"
style="?android:attr/spinnerItemStyle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:singleLine="true"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:textAlignment="inherit" />

Note I have provided

android:layout_height="60dp"

and

android:paddingLeft="20dp"

and use this for your spinner, like this

Spinner dropdown = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.sosMode);
String[] items = new String[]{"Date", "Travelling alone"};
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.custom_dropdown_list, items);
dropdown.setAdapter(adapter);

this works for me :)

Answer 5

You can try using dps.

@Override   
public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

    LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

    TextView textview = (TextView)inflater.inflate(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, null);

    textview.setText(alOpcion.get(position).getOpcionName());

    DisplayMetrics metrics = parent.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
    float dp = 40f;
    float fpixels = metrics.density * dp;
    int pixels = (int) (fpixels + 0.5f);

    textview.setHeight(pixels);

    return textview;
}

Answer 6

As people say, best way is to add

    android:minHeight="48dp"

to .xml. But if you want to do it programatically use:

    mspinner.setMinimumHeight(48);

being mspinner the name of your spinner and 48 the new height of the option.
