Answer 1

In your counter:

 android:overlapAnchor="false" 

Answer 2

You can set these lines in your Spinner XML code:

 android:spinnerMode="dropdown" android:dropDownVerticalOffset="50dp" 

With this, your dropdownview will start at the top offset. You can copy the offset number or calculate it at runtime and use:

 setDropDownVerticalOffset(int pixels)
