Android custom spinner went black in 17- devices

I have created a custom spinner in Android. It looks looks like this in 16+ devices and this in 16 or below. 

<Spinner
        android:id="@+id/spinner"
        style="@style/spinner_style"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/line1"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
         />

styles.xml

 <style name="spinner_style" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="android:background">@drawable/gradient_spinner</item>
    <item name="android:layout_marginLeft">10dp</item>
    <item name="android:layout_marginRight">10dp</item>
    <item name="android:layout_marginBottom">10dp</item>
    <item name="android:paddingLeft">8dp</item>
    <item name="android:paddingTop">5dp</item>
    <item name="android:paddingBottom">5dp</item>
    <item name="android:popupBackground">#DFFFFFFF</item>
</style>

gradient_spinner.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>


<item>
    <layer-list>
        <item>
            <shape>


                <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#000000" />

                <corners android:radius="0dp" />

                <padding android:bottom="3dp" android:left="3dp" android:right="3dp" android:top="3dp" />
            </shape>
        </item>
        <item>
            <bitmap android:gravity="bottom|right" android:src="@drawable/icon_drop" />
        </item>
    </layer-list>
</item>

I dont understand why it became black??

In android 16 in shape in the default black color. Replace the black to any other color, for example white. To override the colors you need to add the following:

<shape>
  <solid android:color="@color/white"/>
  ....
</shape>

As a result, in gradient_spinner.xml you will get the following code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <item>
        <layer-list>
            <item>
                <shape>

                    <solid android:color="@color/white"/>
                  
                    <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#000000" />

                    <corners android:radius="0dp" />

                    <padding android:bottom="3dp" android:left="3dp" android:right="3dp" android:top="3dp" />
                </shape>
            </item>
            <item>
                <bitmap android:gravity="bottom|right" android:src="@drawable/icon_drop" />
            </item>
        </layer-list>
    </item>

Sorry for my English. Thank you
