Spinner Data Contents are not Visible

I have a spinner. I have retrieved my contents in the SPINNER from the database and bind it to the Spinner. But my problem is the Background-color of the pop up of the the Spinner window is white and also the font color for the contents is also white. So I am not able to view the contents in the window apart from selected.

How to set the font color for the Spinner ?

Below is the Activity Code:

I have a spinner. I have bind my contents in the SPINNER from the array to the Spinner.

String bloodgroups[]={
"A +ve" "B +ve"
};
Spinner spinner=(Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spin);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter=new ArrayAdapter<String> this,android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line,bloodgroups);
spinner.setAdapter(adapter);

But my problem is the Background-color of the pop up of the the Spinner window is white and also the font color for the contents is also white. So I am not able to view the contents in the window apart from selected.

How to set the font color for the Spinner ?

you need to create you custom adapter with the creation of views in drop down list:

static class CustomArrayAdapter<T> extends ArrayAdapter<T>
{
    public CustomArrayAdapter(Context ctx, T [] objects)
    {
        super(ctx, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, objects);
    }

    //other constructors

    @Override
    public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
    {
        View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);

        //we know that simple_spinner_item has android.R.id.text1 TextView:         

        /* if(isDroidX) {*/
            TextView text = (TextView)view.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
            text.setTextColor(Color.RED);//choose your color :)         
        /*}*/

        return view;

    }
}

And to use:

 this.mAdapter = new CustomArrayAdapter<CharSequence>(this, bloodgroups);

simple_spinner_item.xml

<TextView
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:id="@+id/text1"
   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"
   android:textColor="#000"
   android:gravity="center_vertical"
   android:padding="20dp"
   android:textSize="25dp"
   android:layout_marginTop="15dp"/>

and in your activity

ArrayAdapter<CharSequence> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<CharSequence>(this,R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
//adapter.add();====> Add items to the adapter here
spinner.setAdapter(adapterGender);
