Question

I have a spinner which is in the Emulator light gray with black text also on HTC devices. On the Motorola Defy the control is dark-gray and the text is white.

How can I get the default text color of the currient device?

Answer 1

The answer of Macarse goes in the right direction but I uses another way.

I looked in the /platforms/android-X/data/res/values xml files and got the color background_dark which works for me.

Finnally I uses this code:

public class MyAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<SpinnerItem> {
    // ...

    @Override
    public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View v = super.getDropDownView(position, convertView, parent);
        TextView tv=(TextView)v.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
        tv.setTextColor(Resources.getSystem().getColor(android.R.color.background_dark));
        return v;
    }
}
