      android:drawable="@drawable/spinner_ab_pressed_new_theme_bs">
    <shape>

        <solid 
            android:color="@color/White" />

        <corners android:radius="3dp" />

        <padding 
            android:bottom="10dp" 
            android:left="10dp" 
            android:right="10dp" 
            android:top="10dp" />

         <stroke 
            android:width="2dp" 
            android:color="@color/skyblue" />
    </shape>
 </item>
 <!-- spinner_ab_default_new_theme_bs -> this image for corner triangle -->
<item

    android:drawable="@drawable/spinner_ab_default_new_theme_bs" >
    <shape>
        <solid
            android:color="@color/White">

        <corners android:radius="3dp" />

        <padding
            android:bottom="10dp" 
            android:left="10dp"

Solution 1:

Spinner

<Spinner
    android:id="@+id/To_Units"
    style="@style/spinner_style" />

style.xml

    <style name="spinner_style">
          <item name="android:layout_width">match_parent</item>
          <item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
          <item name="android:background">@drawable/gradient_spinner</item>
          <item name="android:layout_margin">10dp</item>
          <item name="android:paddingLeft">8dp</item>
          <item name="android:paddingRight">20dp</item>
          <item name="android:paddingTop">5dp</item>
          <item name="android:paddingBottom">5dp</item>
          <item name="android:popupBackground">#DFFFFFFF</item>
     </style>

gradient_spinner.xml (in drawable folder)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <item><layer-list>
            <item><shape>
                    <gradient android:angle="90" android:endColor="#B3BBCC" android:startColor="#E8EBEF" android:type="linear" />

                    <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#000000" />

                    <corners android:radius="4dp" />

                    <padding android:bottom="3dp" android:left="3dp" android:right="3dp" android:top="3dp" />
                </shape></item>
            <item ><bitmap android:gravity="bottom|right" android:src="@drawable/spinner_arrow" />
            </item>
        </layer-list></item>

</selector>  

@drawable/spinner_arrow is your bottom right corner image

Solution 2:

This is a simple one.

your_layout.xml

<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatSpinner
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:background="@drawable/spinner_background"
/>

In the drawable folder, spinner_background.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item><layer-list>
    <item>
        <shape>
            <solid
                android:color="@color/colorWhite">
            </solid>

            <corners android:radius="3dp" />

            <padding
                android:bottom="10dp"
                android:left="10dp"
                android:right="10dp"
                android:top="10dp" />
            <stroke
                android:width="2dp"
                android:color="@color/colorDarkGrey"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item >
        <bitmap android:gravity="bottom|right"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_arrow_drop_down_black_24dp" />
    </item>
  </layer-list></item>
</selector>

Solution 3:

You can achieve the following by using a single line in your spinner declaration in XML: enter image description here

Just add this: style="@android:style/Widget.Holo.Light.Spinner"

This is a default generated style in android. It doesn't contain borders around it though. For that you'd better search something on google.

Hope this helps.

UPDATE: AFter a lot of digging I got something which works well for introducing border around spinner.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item
        android:bottom="8dp"
        android:top="8dp">
        <shape>
            <solid android:color="@android:color/white" />
            <corners android:radius="4dp" />
            <stroke
                android:width="2dp"
                android:color="#9E9E9E" />
            <padding
                android:bottom="16dp"
                android:left="8dp"
                android:right="16dp"
                android:top="16dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</layer-list>

Place this in the drawable folder and use it as a background for spinner. Like this:

<RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/speaker_relative_layout"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="70dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
        android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
        android:background="@drawable/spinner_style"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">

        <Spinner
            android:id="@+id/select_speaker_spinner"
            style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.DropDownItem.Spinner"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="70dp"
            android:entries="@array/select_speaker_spinner_array"
            android:spinnerMode="dialog" />

    </RelativeLayout>
