Answer 1

The best and easiest solution:

spinner.getBackground().setColorFilter(getResources().getColor(R.color.red), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP); 

Other solution (Thanks to Simon) if you don't want change all Spinners:

Drawable spinnerDrawable = spinner.getBackground().getConstantState().newDrawable();  spinnerDrawable.setColorFilter(getResources().getColor(R.color.red), PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);  if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {     spinner.setBackground(spinnerDrawable); }else{     spinner.setBackgroundDrawable(spinnerDrawable); } 

Answer 2

From Lollipop on, you can set the background tint on xml,

android:backgroundTint="@color/my_color"
