I would like to have my spinner drop down just like a web form. I don't want the options to pop up in a modal style window. Is this possible, and if so, how?
The feature you're looking for is the spinnerMode attribute which has "popup" and "dropdown" modes, which you should set to "dropdown" in order to get what you want. Just add
android:spinnerMode="dropdown"
to the declaration in your layout XML.
Looks like you could just use MODE_DROPDOWN with the spinner.
This is not supported in SDK as far as I know, so I guess you will have to write your own Spinner to get this functionality. It would be nice though :)

I need to change button style from "contained" to "outlined" at runtime.
For now the only way I've found to create an outlined button is to set its style to ?attr/materialButtonOutlinedStyle.
Unfortunately I haven't found a way to change the style at runtime, is it possible?
Is there any way to get this effect?
As a view with text inside, it should have "setTextAppearance" function. It's not the ideal option but may help. Also can be useful to look on https://github.com/airbnb/paris.

You need to implement your own style for your spinner.

I want the opposite of what problem is discussed here Android: Change Spinner Dropdown view
On your xml file, set
android:spinnerMode="dialog"
on your spinner.
Does something exist for Android? I am looking for something equivalent to HTML's tag. I see things like NumberPicker, but I can't see any way to have a basic drop down selector.
I am aware of ListPreference, but I want to use it outside the context of a PreferenceActivity and inside arbitrary views. Anyone?
Are you looking for the spinner, maybe?
