Android TextView not visible on Jelly Bean

Question

I'm having issues displaying text on Jelly Bean 4.1 and 4.2 devices. This is a screenshot from my app when you open it for the first time. Nothing has been touched.

As you can see 4.1 and 4.2 is not displaying any text. I'm not using a custom font or anything like that. Here's my xml for the TextView:

<TextView
    android:text="test"
    android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/card_days_view"
    android:layout_marginTop="3dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
    android:id="@+id/textPrim"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:fontFamily="sans-serif-condensed"
    android:textColor="#393939"
    android:maxLines="1"
    android:singleLine="true"
    android:ellipsize="end"
    android:layout_marginBottom="-6dp"
    android:textSize="36sp" />

What could be the problem? Has anyone else had this issue? I tried googling a bit but nothing came up. Any help is appreciated!

Have you tried to debug using the "Hierarchy View" - Perspective in Eclipse? Usually this helps a lot, as you can read the layout properties determined during rendering.
