            Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_main, container, false);
        ListView lv = (ListView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.listView1);
        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(((MainActivity)getActivity()).getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,((MainActivity)getActivity()).Logs);

    public void SetList()
{
    ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,Logs);
    lv.setAdapter(adapter);
}

Answer 1

Problem solved by changing ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(((MainActivity)getActivity()).getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,((MainActivity)getActivity()).Logs);

to

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(((MainActivity)getActivity()).getBaseContext(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,((MainActivity)getActivity()).Logs);

it seems like for some reason ((MainActivity)getActivity()).getApplicationContext() returns a different default text color than ((MainActivity)getActivity()).getBaseContext()

Answer 2

Change

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(((MainActivity)getActivity()).getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_selectable_list_item,((MainActivity)getActivity()).Logs);

to

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(((MainActivity)getActivity()).getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,((MainActivity)getActivity()).Logs);

in onCreateView. The problem is that you are using 2 different layouts in the adapter. Using android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 should give you TextView with black text the first time too.

Answer 3

try this, Override getView method and set text color like this

 countryadapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(CreateGroupsActivity.this,
            android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item,
            CommonListClass.countryName) {
        @Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            View v = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
            ((TextView) v).setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.black_color));
            return v;
        }

        @Override
        public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView,
                ViewGroup parent) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            View v = super.getDropDownView(position, convertView, parent);
            ((TextView) v).setTextColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.black_color));
            return v;
        }
    };
