How to change text color of simple list item

Question

I have an ListActivity and i am displaying one list with:

setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(getApplicationContext(),
                android.R.la         


        

Answer 1

If you are creating a class that extends an Adapter, you can use parent variable to obtain the context.

public class MyAdapter extends ArrayAdapter {
private Context context;
   @Override
   public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
       context = parent.getContext();
       context.getResources().getColor(R.color.red);
       return convertView;
   }
}

You can do the same with RecyclerView.Adapter, but instead of getview() you will use onCreateViewHolder().
