You need to create a Custom Spinner Layout for this type of achievement.
Go to this Link custom-layout-for-spinner-item used this and customized by your own way.

I just wanna ask how can I create a multi selection spinner in android and the data that will be populated to is from the database. I saw this example here in SO Android Spinner with multiple choice and tried to use it but I don't know what to do next. This is my spinner and adapter and I want to make it in multiselect spinner. Help me please...
spn_CustomerSegment = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spn_CustomerSegment);
List<String> ConsumerSeg = databaseHandler.setItemOnConsumerSeg();
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(IreportMain.this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, ConsumerSeg);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spn_CustomerSegment.setAdapter(adapter);
I know its not direct answer but you can try using a acrollView (vertical or horizontal) and populate it with checkboxes.
it can give you a nice effect end no extra coding is needed
I have set a dynamic value in a spinner . I am using following code for the same.
spinner_generalbooks.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, new String[]{"Author","ISBN","Keyword","Title"}));
It is working fine, but I have a problem with the view of the spinner . If we select simple_spinner_item, it is ok in normal state, but when we want to change it, the rows are very narrow and not CheckedTextView whereas in normal spinner options comes with CheckedTextView. If we select simple_spinner_dropdown_item, the options come with CheckedTextView, but in normal state, it looks different as in the pic
(First one is default spinner and second one is using simple_spinner_dropdown_item).
I want to show the spinner just like as default spinner. How to make it?
Android will take the layout specified in the adapter and use it for the control and the items unless you specify the view-resource separately. The way through this is to set the layout to simple_item in the ArrayAdapter constructor and then set the layout dropdown_item separately in a call to setDropDownViewResource().
ArrayAdapter newAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, new String[]{"Author","ISBN","Keyword","Title"});
newAdapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinner_generalbooks.setAdapter(newAdapter);
If you whant to customize the visual of your Spinner, it'll be more simple to create your own component. A spinner is just a Layout that contains text, image and that display a list in a popup. Create a custom layout for your item and use a new BaseAdapter object to bind your datas.

Can anybody help me to change the contents of spinner on run time in Android.
Examples would help a lot.
You have to change the adapter which is bound to the Spinner. Either you edit add or remove items to/from the adapter and refresh it or you create a new adapter filled with the new items and bind it to the Spinner.
My spinner control is displaying fine no problem. When someone is in create mode they are able to selected a value which I am able to record and store in my database.
But I have a problem when someone is in edit mode and I want to display the list but have one of the items (say the third) selected. I can't see how to do that. All the tutorials talk about how to populate the spinner but not how to preset one as being selected.
this.ddlCategory = (Spinner)this.findViewById(R.id.add_edit_place_ddlCategory);
ArrayAdapter adpt = new ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, categories);
adpt.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
this.ddlCategory.setAdapter(adpt);
Please help

You can use one of the setSelection methods to programatically select a value.
