Android Spinner items space

I have two spinners in my app. One spinner statically loads List items from XML file to display. Other spinner gets list of strings from database and displays. I am using same XML attributes for both spinners. But the spacing between individual items is different for both. The spinner with static list of strings has more spacing between items. The spinner which loads items from database has some sort of wrapped height. The items are close to each other making it difficult for user to select. Any solution for this problem?

  <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/spinner1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="1" />

    <Spinner
        android:id="@+id/spinner3"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_weight="1" />


    static_sp = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner1);        
    List<String> array_karant = Arrays.asList(getResources().getStringArray(R.array.karant_list));
    ArrayAdapter<String> karant_adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, array_karant);
    karant_adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
    static_sp.setAdapter(karant_adapter);
    static_sp.setSelection(0);
    static_sp.setOnItemSelectedListener(new select_karant());


    database_sp = (Spinner) findViewById(R.id.spinner3);  
    return_likes = db.getAllLikeList();
    ArrayAdapter<String> like_adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, return_likes);
             like_adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
    database_sp.setAdapter(like_adapter);
    database_sp.setOnItemSelectedListener(new select_like());
