Is there a way to display the designer's spinner rtl ?
And that the values be centered rather than right or left?

You can use CSBuilder to change the alignment. This code is from B4XPreferencesDialog:
B4X:
Dim options As List
           options.Initialize
           Dim cs As CSBuilder
           For Each opt As String In original
               options.Add(cs.Initialize.Alignment("ALIGN_OPPOSITE").Typeface(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD).Append(opt).PopAll)
           Next

The options are: ALIGN_NORMAL, ALIGN_OPPOSITE or ALIGN_CENTER

Thanks
It worked fine.
But is there a way to place the opening arrow on the left?
And do you have an idea why the attached code did not work when the value of opt was "עברית"
B4X:
For Each opt As String In original       
        If opt="עברית" Then           
            options.Add(cs.Initialize.Alignment("ALIGN_OPPOSITE").Typeface(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD).Append(opt).PopAll)
        Else
            options.Add(cs.Initialize.Alignment("ALIGN_NORMAL").Typeface(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD).Append(opt).PopAll)
        End If       
    Next
it worked when the value was in English

No simple way. You can try to replace the spinner background with your own drawable. I would have used a custom view for this. It shouldn't be too complicated to create one.

Put a breakpoint and make sure that the value is actually what you expect it to be.
