title: Custom style setDropDownViewResource Android Spinner
body: <p>Below is my current code that adds my array_spinner to my adapter and then adds the adapter to my spinner. 
  <strong>QUESTIONS:</strong></p>
  
  <p>1- I am not sure how I would use the following code to style my drop down:  <code>areaspinner.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);</code> and how do I apply a custom view/text view? I need to style the text item in the spinner drop down.</p>
  
  <p>2- Do I need to create a a separate layout.xml file for this view?</p>
  
  <p>Any info would be great. Thanks!</p>
  
  <pre><code>array_spinner=new String[4];
  array_spinner[0]="Select";
  array_spinner[1]="George Washington";
  array_spinner[2]="Benjamin Franklin";
  array_spinner[3]="Thomas Jefferson";
  
   //CREATE SPINNER
  areaspinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.areaspinner);
  
  ArrayAdapter&lt;String&gt; adapter = 
      new ArrayAdapter&lt;String&gt; (this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,array_spinner);
  areaspinner.setAdapter(adapter);
  </code></pre>
