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<String>(getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, some_list);

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

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

Answer 2

Maybe you have a white android:textColor="@android:color/white" attribute in your simple_spinner_item.xml in the layout folder of your project.

Better use a custom spinner item layout with a good android:textColor="@android:color/COLOR_YOU_WANT_TO_USE" attribute.
