now problem listview value showing black in color. have black background image. , value black in color. not looking good. how change color of listview values white without changing o custom adapter.

and adapter class

 adapter=new arrayadapter<string>(this,android.r.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice,playersname);     lvview.setchoicemode(listview.choice_mode_multiple);     lvview.setadapter(adapter); 

you have create custome textview change color of listview items, instead of passing default android.r.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice arrayadapter should pass custom list item xml, has different textcolor attribute.

for example, created custom_list_item.xml under folder layout:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>    <checkedtextview xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"        android:id="@+id/textview"        android:layout_width="fill_parent"        android:layout_height="?android:attr/listpreferreditemheight"        android:textappearance="?android:attr/textappearancelarge"        android:gravity="center_vertical"        android:checkmark="?android:attr/listchoiceindicatorsingle"        android:paddingleft="6dip"        android:paddingright="6dip"        android:textcolor="#ff00ff"        /> 

then passed adapter below:

     new arrayadapter<string>(this, r.layout.custom_list_item, playersname);

   lv.setadapter(new arrayadapter<string>(this, r.layout.custom_list_item, playersname));     lv.setbackgroundcolor(color.black);     lv.setchoicemode(listview.choice_mode_multiple);     lv.setonitemclicklistener(new onitemclicklistener()     {         @override         public void onitemclick(adapterview<?> p_arg0, view p_arg1, int p_arg2, long p_arg3)         {              my_sel_items = new string("selected items");                 sparsebooleanarray = lv.getcheckeditempositions();                 (int = 0; < a.size(); i++) {                     if (a.valueat(i)) {                         my_sel_items = my_sel_items + ","                                 + (string) lv.getadapter().getitem(i);                     }                 }                 log.v("values", my_sel_items);         }     });
