I found out how to style the items in the list, as well as the displayed item. The solution involved creating two layout xml files in the /res/layout directory - one for the spinner dropdown items, and one for the selector (the displayed item). I was then able to add the view resources to the ArrayAdapter.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
