How to change width of dropdownlist only of a spinner programmatically - android

in my app I am using a Spinner to show a list of items. I am changing the width of the spinner in my code dynamically, but the width of the dropdown is also changing along with the spinner.

I want to fix the width of the dropdown list but not for spinner. So how can I do this without using xml?

Set dropdown width in xml file of spinner using the tag

android:dropDownWidth="@dimen/desired_width"

Explaination :

    mDropDownWidth = pa.getLayoutDimension(R.styleable.Spinner_dropDownWidth,
            ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

this field is used for dropdown width when spinner item is initialized in Spinner class

for programatically changing spinner dropdown width above api level 16, use

mSpinner.setDropDownWidth(size_in_pixel);
