Great extension! Is it possible to change the background color of the spinner and the color of the arrow as well?
You could use a button to call the spinner then use material icons (or similar) to set the text and down arrow, and format the colours for the button.
The background color of the spinner can already be setted.
Added method to set the arrow color.
Wow, great! You are my hero.
Great.
Many thanks
Small Update:
Big Update in first post!
Update version 5 in first post. I think there is nothing more to add.
Isn't it possible to also choose the height of the spinner's item box? And perhaps even spread the text of a single item across multiple lines.
My list items are a bit long, and half of the text isn't visible. If you could adjust the height of the items and set the text across multiple lines, that would be perfect!
Spinner Height / Spinner Width
" If you could adjust the height of the items and set the text across multiple lines, that would be perfect!"
This would need a custom xml design for the spinner, that I am not able to create and implement into this extension at the moment. My extension uses the Reflection method and only overrides the native spinner. Unfortunately Item height and width settings for the dropdown items are not supported by this method. Also no multiline text. \n to create a new line also doesnt work.
But of course you can set the Textsize or shrink your item names.
Which one should i use to make more space between the arrow and the text?
Currently the settings of djspinnertool no longer work. No matter which styles I select in the example, I always only see the default spinner. Galaxy S24 Ultra, Android 16.
I have the extension V6, and everything was still working up until about 6 months ago.
You're right. Thanks for the heads-up. App Inventor has recently been updated. My extension no longer works here. I'll revise it in the next few days.

Perfect. I like the way you responded to requests.
