After some more research it seems that you can not manipulate the height of the Spinner dropdown, or any other of it's layout attributes.

This is because the dropdown is actually a popup dialog that cannot be accesed from the Spinner View.

So it seams that I have to use android:layout_marginBottom as specified in the question.

Solution 2:

Even i faced the same issue. Unlike your screen my screen has just one option. so i made a fix changing the android:spinnerMode:"dialog".

<Spinner
        android:id="@+id/dialog_spinner"
        android:spinnerMode="dialog"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       >

This would show your list in a new dialog. Just in case might be helpful for people searching with similar problem.
