The look of a Spinner is just defined through a framework style, and you can override that style in your XML. In this case, the "look" of a spinner is provided by its android:background, which is defined here:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/res/res/drawable/btn_dropdown.xml;hb=cupcake You could specify your own android:background, even copying the existing EditText: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=blob;f=core/res/res/drawable/edit_text.xml;hb=cupcake Since the EditText resources aren't exposed in the public API, you'd have to copy those assets into your local project. j On Tue, Aug 11, 2009 at 1:52 PM, phildo<[email protected]> wrote: > > Ok so I spent quite a bit of time trying to find posts online about > how to make a spinner look like an EditText.
