this code list navigation:

arrayadapter<string> adapter = new arrayadapter<string>(this,         android.r.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, new string[] { "item 1", "item 2" });  getsupportactionbar().setnavigationmode(actionbar.navigation_mode_list); getsupportactionbar().setlistnavigationcallbacks(adapter,         new actionbar.onnavigationlistener() {             @override             public boolean onnavigationitemselected(int itemposition, long itemid) {                 return true;             }         });  getsupportactionbar().setselectednavigationitem(0) 

these collection of styles worked with.

<style name="customtheme" parent="@style/theme.customized">       <item name="actionbarstyle">@style/widget.styled.actionbar</item>       <item name="android:actionbarstyle">@style/widget.styled.actionbar</item>       <item name="actiondropdownstyle">@style/customsherlockdropdownnav</item>       <item name="android:actiondropdownstyle">@style/customsherlockdropdownnav</item>        <!-- didn't work: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12395381/android-actionbar-navigation-spinner-text-color                  <item name="android:spinnerdropdownitemstyle">@style/custom.widget.dropdownitem.spinner</item>       <item name="spinnerdropdownitemstyle">@style/custom.widget.dropdownitem.spinner</item>       -->        <!-- didn't work: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11479186/styling-actionbar-dropdown-menu        <item name="android:actionbarwidgettheme">@style/custom.actionbarwidgettheme</item>       <item name="actionbarwidgettheme">@style/custom.actionbarwidgettheme</item>       -->        <!-- didn't work: http://android-developers.blogspot.de/2011/04/customizing-action-bar.html                                                                               <item name="android:dropdownlistviewstyle">@style/customdropdownlistview</item>       <item name="dropdownlistviewstyle">@style/customdropdownlistview</item>       -->        ....   </style>   <style name="custom.actionbarwidgettheme" parent="@style/theme.sherlock.light.darkactionbar">      <item name="android:spinnerdropdownitemstyle">@style/custom.widget.dropdownitem.spinner</item> </style>  <style name="custom.widget.dropdownitem.spinner" parent="@style/widget.sherlock.dropdownitem.spinner">     <item name="android:textappearance">@style/custom.textappearance.widget.dropdownitem</item> </style>  <style name="custom.textappearance.widget.dropdownitem" parent="@style/textappearance.sherlock.widget.dropdownitem">     <item name="android:textcolor">#00a000</item> </style>   <style name="customdropdownlistview" parent="android:style/widget.holo.listview.dropdown">   <item name="android:textcolor">#00a000</item>   <item name="android:textsize">8dip</item> </style>   <style name="customsherlockdropdownnav" parent="@style/widget.sherlock.light.spinner.dropdown.actionbar">       <item name="android:popupbackground">@drawable/menu_dropdown_panel_customtab</item>       <item name="android:background">@drawable/spinner_background_ab_customtab</item> </style> 

however nothing didn't work.

the problem using same resource android.r.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line spinner item , spinner dropdown item.

use r.layout.sherlock_spinner_item , r.layout.sherlock_spinner_dropdown_item instead.

arrayadapter<string> adapter = new arrayadapter<string>(this,          r.layout.sherlock_spinner_item, new string[] { "item 1", "item 2" }); adapter.setdropdownviewresource(r.layout.sherlock_spinner_dropdown_item); 

this way, styles widget.sherlock.textview.spinneritem work.
