Changing spinner arrow, Appcompat v21

Question

i have activities which i themed with my custom theme, but for spinner i choosed to style it with Appcompat v21 but i got this :

So how to change the Spinner arrow to be black or blue if is there a way ?

i found this as similar question but doesn't have any answer : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28561105/add-custom-spinner-arrow here is my spinner :

<Spinner
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/spinner2"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true" />

i used this to style the spinner:

 <style name="MyTheme.SpinnerAppTheme" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Spinner">
    </style>

this is how i use the adapter

   ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(
                getBaseContext(), R.array.listMedRes, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);

i just want to theme the spinner , thanks alot

Might be late but better late than never. To respond to your question: "Is there a way to use it only in spinner?". The answer is yes, refer to the code below.

Add this code to your theme or style file

<style name="customSpinnerTheme" parent="yourAppThemeThatUseAppCompat21">
    <item name="colorControlNormal">#eaeaea</item>
    <item name="colorControlActivated">#000000</item>
    <item name="colorControlHighlight">#000000</item>
</style>

Then in your XML that use spinner you can add this line

android:theme="@style/customSpinnerTheme"

e.g.

<Spinner
    android:theme="@style/customSpinnerTheme"
    android:id="@+id/spinner"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
    android:spinnerMode="dialog" />
