Change Text Color in ListView

Make a layout for your List items and bind that to a ListAdapter.

Answer 2

The problem is that you are using the default list item layout "android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1". If you want to change the color of the text in the listview you must create your own list item layout with the correct text color.

You could add this item to your layout folder:

<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:id="@android:id/text1"
        style="?android:attr/listItemFirstLineStyle"
        android:paddingTop="2dip"
        android:paddingBottom="3dip"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:textColor="#FF0000" /> 

Then pass this item instead of android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1
