Solution 1:

You'll have to create a custom adapter to hook into the creation of the views. Similar SO question with some useful info for you: Change spinner font color

Solution 2:

I'm not sure if I really get your question, but if you want to change the text color of the items of the spinner, just add android:textColor="your color here" to the TextView of row.xml.

Solution 3:

yeah I think my question was flawed.. seems like maybe this light grey is default color.. but it looks horrible (unreadable almost) on my galaxy s2.. on emulator it looks ok, but a little light..

it is first spinner i ever created...

so I solved it by hard-coding a darker grey... but I don't like hard coding because I am unsure if some android devices would skin the background of the spinner to some color that makes a dark grey unreadable?
