Finally I found the solution to the problem.
It was the context used in the row adapter. The constructor used is the shown in the following piece of code:

public RowAdapter(Activity activity, ArrayList<String> list) {
    this.mContext = activity.getApplicationContext();
    this.elements = list;
    this.theActivity = activity;

    this.inflater = (LayoutInflater) this.mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

Just changing the context from:
this.mContext = activity.getApplicationContext()(Application-Context)
to
this.mContext = activity.getBaseContext()(Activity-Context)
solved the problem and now the background is the custom one.

Whenever you need to manipulate Views then go for Activity-Context, else Application-Context would be enough.

This answer helped me to understand why to use getBaseContext() instead of getApplicationContext() in my case.
