                        setContentView(R.layout.topup);


                        spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1);

                        ed = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText3);

                        list = new ArrayList<String>();
                        list.add("");
                        list.add("select");

                        spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new OnItemSelectedListener() {

                            //@Override
                            public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View arg1,int arg2, long arg3) {
                                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                                 String item = spinner.getItemAtPosition(1).toString();
                                 //Toast.makeText(spinner.getContext(), "Selected: " + item, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                                 String ss=spinner.getSelectedItem().toString();
                                 String 
                            }


                            public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> arg0) {

If you have a vector icon and not bitmap, you can set it this way.

<item>
    <layer-list>
        <item>
            <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                <gradient android:angle="270" android:centerColor="#65FFFFFF" android:centerY="0.2" android:endColor="#00FFFFFF" android:startColor="@color/light_gray" />
                <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="@color/darkGray" />
                <corners android:radius="@dimen/edit_text_corner_radius" />
            </shape>
        </item>

        <item
            android:right="5dp"
            android:gravity="center|right"
            android:drawable="@drawable/gardify_spinner_dropdown_icon"/>

    </layer-list>
</item>

From the API level 16 and above, you can use following code to change the drop down icon in spinner. just goto onItemSelected in setonItemSelectedListener and change the drawable of textview selected like this.

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
  // give the color which ever you want to give to spinner item in this line of code               
//API Level 16 and above only. 
           ((TextView)parent.getChildAt(position)).setCompoundDrawablesRelativeWithIntrinsicBounds(null,null,ContextCompat.getDrawable(Activity.this,R.drawable.icon),null);
 //Basically itis changing the drawable of textview, we have change the textview left drawable.

}
        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {

}
    });

hope it will help somebody.

dummy.xml (drawable should be of very less size. i have taken 24dp)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list android:opacity="transparent" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
            <item android:width="100dp" android:gravity="right" android:start="300dp">
                <bitmap android:src="@drawable/down_button_dummy_dummy" android:gravity="center"/>
            </item>
</layer-list>

layout file snippet

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:cardUseCompatPadding="true"
        app:cardElevation="5dp"
        >
     <Spinner
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
