[SOLVED] Changing text color of list view in android

Changing text color of list view in android

I am trying to change the text color of a listview in Android. Can anyone please give me a heads up on how it's done?

Solution

You can use themes to set the styles for your TextViews. From the Android dev site.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <style name="CodeFont" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance.Medium">
        <item name="android:textColor">#00FF00</item>
        <item name="android:typeface">monospace</item>
    </style>
</resources>

Then to use it:

<TextView style="@style/CodeFont" />

Edit - based on comment

You asked about multiple color in the same TextView: Your best bet is to use html. Which you set in a TextView for example:

myTextView.setText(Html.fromHtml("<p style="color:red">" + someText + "</p><p style="color:blue">" + someOtherText + "</p>"));
