How to change the text background color of a opene

Question

I set this XML Style in my app, but when I open a Spinner I cant see the text. This is where searching of information takes place.I don't really know what I am doing wrong.

This is the XML Style:

<style name="Theme.Color" parent="android:Theme">
    <item name="android:textColor">#FFFFFF</item>
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/fondo2</item>
</style>

This the XML of the Spinner:

            <Spinner
            android:id="@+id/spAnswers"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_below="@+id/tvSecurity"
            android:entries="@array/box" />

And when I open a Spinner this happens, I cant see the text (text color is white).

I need to set the text color to another of the spinner only when it is open or the background of the text changes.

While Creating Adapter for your Spinner give custom layout instead of predefined one

Create xml named spinner_row.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
 android:id="@+id/cust_view"  
    android:layout_width="match_parent" 
    android:textColor="@color/black"
    android:textSize="12dp"
    android:layout_height="36dp" 
    android:gravity="left|center_vertical"/> 

Here you can change the color Text size and width and height of the Elements in the spinner by modifying this textview

Use it like this while creating Adapter

 ArrayAdapter<String> adapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(context, R.layout.spinner_row,yourlist);

The Last task is routine

spinner.setAdapter(adapter);

I hope this will help you.
