Android: ListView xml layout not showing background image when scrolled

Question

I have an Activity with a ListView, I set the background image to the view programatically. When I scroll down my list, the background image turns to white ( because my theme is Theme.Light.NoTitleBar).

1. How can I make it scroll with the blue background intact?
2. If the above point works, how can I change the text color of ListView to white instead of black?

Normal ListView

Scrolling ListView

Pressing ListView item

Answer 1

1. Use the attribute android:cacheColorHint="#000000" in ListView Tag

2. Regarding make TextView's color black or white, you can refer here to make a custom TextView for your ListView row, The extra work you have to do is just add another attribut inside TextView tag like this

   android:textColor="#FFF" //or #FFFFFF for white
