[aniruddhasm]

var dropDownSelection;
dropDownSelection = Alloy.Globals.abx.createDropdown({
titles : ["First", "Second", "Third", "Fourth"],
color : "#fff"
});

dropDownSelection.activeItem = 2; // bydefault set Third variable to be selected

Hi, I've just pushed the 1.6.2 update.

You can now pass an index property to the creation object:

var dropDownSelection = Alloy.Globals.abx.createDropdown({
  titles : ["First", "Second", "Third", "Fourth"],
  index: 2
});

hi thankyou.... it is working perfectly fine... :)

I'll leave this open as this should work too but does not yet.

dropDownSelection.activeItem = 2;

Still need to figure out why that fails.
