title: My Spinner Widgets look different on different devices. How can I define a own Spinner that looks the same on all handsets?
body: <p>I use this code to generate a spinner in my app: </p>
  
  <pre><code>    subCatAdapter = new ArrayAdapter&lt;Subcategory&gt;(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, subCategories);
      subCatAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On my device (Motorola Milestone) and in the emulator this looks like the standard gray spinner widget.
  On of my colleagues uses a Motorola Backflip and on his device the Spinner is black.
  Now its very hard to read the font in the spinner. </p>
  
  <p>What do I have to do to use my own view for the spinner? I don't mind to have the gray spinner on all devices, but it should always look the same on all devices.</p>
