This would happen if the item which inflates the spinner is close to the bottom of the screen.

Since the spinner would not have enough room (or just barely enough room) if inflated downward, it is inflated upward instead. Try putting the spinner higher (vertically) in the layout.

It depends on Screen size, If you test it on other device it will show at down/up.

I suggest you to test it on different devices.

you can use custome adapter if you want 

<Spinner
...
android:overlapAnchor="false" />
