How to limit the height of Spinner drop down view in Android

Issue

Please suggest any approach which i use to create it .

Query : I am creating 2-Spinner view , where i have to add Country/Cities list , So like if i am selecting india then i am getting 50 items inside the drop down view , problem with this is that it is taking the whole page in height .

What i want : I want to create a drop down view , where user can see only 10 items in the drop down view , other items will be shown whenever user will scroll the drop down view .

Solution

You can use Reflection.

    Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);
    try {
        Field popup = Spinner.class.getDeclaredField("mPopup");
        popup.setAccessible(true);

        // Get private mPopup member variable and try cast to ListPopupWindow
        android.widget.ListPopupWindow popupWindow = (android.widget.ListPopupWindow) popup.get(spinner);

        // Set popupWindow height to 500px
        popupWindow.setHeight(500);
    }
    catch (NoClassDefFoundError | ClassCastException | NoSuchFieldException | IllegalAccessException e) {
        // silently fail...
    }
