Text on spinner is white on a white background

Question

The text on my spinners is white, and I have no idea why.

This is my x

Answer 1

i change it from

new ArrayAdapter(getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, some_list);

to new ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, list);

it's fixed, although i don't want to use "this"
