Question

I am using an AutoCompleteTextView but am running into the problem of white text on a white background in the dropdown menu.

If I start typing in the field the dropdown appears and if I click in the dropdown it chooses the correct item and places it in the text field. I just cannot see what it is I am clicking.

        ctAutoText = new AutoCompleteTextView( this );
        ctAutoText.setHint( "CT Ratio" );
        ctAutoText.setLayoutParams( editLP );
        ctAutoText.setId( 1001 );

        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>( this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, cTRatioList.toArray( new String[cTRatioList.size()] ) );
        ctAutoText.setAdapter( adapter );

Answer 1

The problem was my ArrayAdapter. Use this:

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>( this,
             android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, 
             cTRatioList.toArray( new String[cTRatioList.size()] ) );
