Selected item in spinner is white in android versions lowwer or equal to 23
0
In my activity inside oncreate I instantiate and set adapter to the Spinner like this
...
ArrayAdapter arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(this
, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, members);
arrayAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
memberSpinner.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
In the xml i declare spinner like this
...
<Spinner
android:id="@+id/sp_members"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
I have this base theme for application which i suspect is the cause of this
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
In android api level 24 and above which i have tested the image is like this..
Image in android 7 device
And below something like this...
Image in android 5 device
PLEASE HOW CAN I MAKE SURE THE SELECTED SPINNER ITEM IS ALWAYS BLACK IN COLOR. (So that it is always easily readable)

You can define inside your theme style for selected spinner value and for values in drop down list.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="spinnerItemStyle">@style/spinnerText</item>
<item name="spinnerDropDownItemStyle">@style/spinnerText</item>
</style>
<style name="spinnerText">
<item name="textColor">#000000</item>
</style>

You can define inside your theme style for selected spinner value and for values in drop down list.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="spinnerItemStyle">@style/spinnerText</item>
<item name="spinnerDropDownItemStyle">@style/spinnerText</item>
</style>
<style name="spinnerText">
<item name="textColor">#000000</item>
</style>
