Change Spinner Text Size and Color

Make custom xml file for your spinner item.

spinner_item.xml:

give your customized color and size to text in this file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<TextView  
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textSize="20dip"
    android:gravity="left"  
    android:textColor="#FF0000"         
    android:padding="5dip"
    />

Now use this file to show your spinner items like:

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.spinner_item,list);
