  Spinner spinner = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner);

  // Init ArrayList of MyObject
  ArrayList<MyObject> myArrayList = new ArrayList<MyObject>();
  myArrayList.add(new MyObject(0, "Sunday"));

  }

  @Override
  public long getItemId(int position) {
   return position;
  }

  @Override
  public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
   View view = convertView;
   if (convertView == null)
    view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.row, null);

   TextView text1 = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.text1);
   TextView text2 = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.text2);
   MyObject myObj = myList.get(position);
   text1.setText(String.valueOf(myObj.getNumber()));
   text2.setText(myObj.getName());
   return view;
  }

 }
}

row.xml, define the layout of individual row in the custom Spinner.

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >
 
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text2"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:textStyle="bold"/>
 
</LinearLayout>
