Answer 1

(SearchTopActivity.this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item, new String[]{"test1", "test2"}) change this

android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item to android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item

refer http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-spinner.html

Answer 2

I think that happens because of the layout file you use. Try to use:

android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item

Answer 3

I had the same problem, I just wrote my own adapter by extending BaseAdapter and implementing SpinnerAdapter. Also I wrote my one item layout :

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/tvParticipantSpinnerName"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

</RelativeLayout>

And the spinner behave normally.

TRY THIS

@Override
    protected void onPostExecute(final List<String> result) {
        System.out.println("Result: " + result);
    final String[] test = new String[] { "test1", "test2" };

    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, test);
    countrySpinner.setAdapter(adapter);
}
and xml as::

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