Custom ListView in Fragment not adhering to parent theme

Question

I\'m currently having an issue with using custom ListView adapters with the Holo.Light theme. Within the activities and fragments, any TextViews are displayed in the theme\'

You haven't posted any actual code, but since I've had exactly the same problem, I would guess that you are passing the wrong Context to your custom adapter constructor.

I've been doing something like this (within my Fragment):

dataSource = new MyCursorAdapter(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), R.layout.myrow, data,
            fields, new int[] { R.id.field1, R.id.field2 });

All I had to do to fix the problem, was to replace getActivity().getApplicationContext() by getActivity():

dataSource = new MyCursorAdapter(getActivity(), R.layout.myrow, data,
            fields, new int[] { R.id.field1, R.id.field2 });

And it started to work as expected.

MyCursorAdapter (extending SimpleCursorAdapter) constructor:

public MyCursorAdapter(Context context, int layout, Cursor c,
        String[] from, int[] to) { //... }
