Question

I have ListView that shows data:

<ListView
android:id="@+android:id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
</ListView>

The headlines is an array:

List headlines;
ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, headlines);
setListAdapter(adapter);

How to change the text color, style and size? There isn’t any android:textColor on the ListView.

Answer 1

Find the file simple_list_item_1.xml from your sdk installation, copy it to your project’s layout folder, rename it and make whatever color/text changes you want in there. Then replace the layout call in your program with your new layout name (don’t forget that since you will be using your own list row layout you need to remove the android. from in front of the layout call).

It should look something like this:

ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this, R.layout.your_row_layout, headlines);

Hope this helps!
