Hi Bob,
Even i gave up on that. Finally i created a custom layout which
displays the list of items( the items which i want to display in the spinner
), in a listview, at any position on the screen.
We can create a listview with any height and width, using
LayoutParams , my requirement is fulfilled, but not the way i intended to
do. Instead of using a spinner drop down view we can use a list view to
display the items, which looks like a customized spinner drop down.
