Answer 1

Kind of reviving an old post here but the accepted answer is far from ideal. The correct way to do this is to set the Spinner to dropdown mode in your layout xml:

<Spinner 
    android:id="@+id/my_spinner"
    ...
    android:spinnerMode="dropdown"/>

The available options are "dialog" and "dropdown".
