Change arrow color of Spinner
1) In styles.xml, add the following style:
<style name="ActionBarThemeOverlay" parent=""> <item name="android:textColorPrimary">#ffffff</item> <item name="colorControlNormal">#ffffff</item> <item name="colorControlHighlight">#ff33b5e5</item> </style> <style name="Widget.MyTheme.HeaderBar.Spinner" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Light.Spinner.DropDown.ActionBar"> <item name="android:theme">@style/ActionBarThemeOverlay</item> </style>
2) In the layout, where you use the Spinner (in your case with Toolbar), add the style to your spinner:
<Spinner xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/my_spinner" style="@style/Widget.MyTheme.HeaderBar.Spinner" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
