Answer 1

In your spinner:

android:overlapAnchor="false"

NOTE If you are supporting API below 21, this attribute has to be copy and pasted as it is available for API >= 21.

Answer 2

You can to set this lines in your Spinner xml code:

android:spinnerMode="dropdown"
android:dropDownVerticalOffset="50dp"

With this, your dropdownview will start with top offset. You can hardcode the offset number or calculate it at runtime and use:

setDropDownVerticalOffset(int pixels)
