title: android change appearance of Spinner Button using styles
body: <p>i tried to change the style of my spinner button (not the items!). Somehow it does not get applied: </p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;style name="myStyle"  parent="@android:style/Widget.TextView.SpinnerItem"&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:layout_width"&gt;wrap_content&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:layout_height"&gt;50dip&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:textAppearance"&gt;?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall&lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:textStyle"&gt;italic&lt;/item&gt;
   &lt;/style&gt;
  
  &lt;Spinner 
       android:id="@+id/widget_type_spinner"
       style="@style/myStyle"
       android:layout_width="wrap_content"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>on the other side if I define this in my theme it worked like a charme: </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;style name="Standard" parent="android:style/Theme.Black"&gt;
      &lt;item name="android:spinnerItemStyle"&gt;@style/myStyle&lt;/item&gt; 
  &lt;/style&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I don't want this behavior for all spinner ... 
  Any ideas? </p>
