Top/Bottom Padding for Spinner

Question

How do I specify for a spinner in Android an extra padding on top/bottom of the first/last item? See sample of Goolge below (8 dp spacing).

Spinner does not support multiple view types.Issue.

I suggested you using dialog for showing your list.

Answer 2

You need to create a custom adapter for you Spinner using your custom layout. Thus, you just need to provide a layout with the proper margin/paddins.

Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.myspinner);
ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.data, R.layout.spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(R.layout.spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);
