Change font size in ListView - Android/Eclipse

Question

How can I change the font size in a ListView element? In my main.xml file, I have tried several different values in for android:textSize (pt,px,sp,dp) and nothing seems to change it.

Here is what I have currently for the in my main.xml:

<ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:id="@android:id/list"     android:textColor="#ffffff"     android:background="#000080"      android:layout_width="fill_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"      android:clickable="true"      android:dividerHeight="1px"     android:layout_marginTop="5px"      android:textSize="8px"/> 

Here is my Java:

package com.SorenWinslow.TriumphHistory;  import android.app.ListActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;  public class TriumphHistory extends ListActivity {     String[] HistoryList;      /** Called when the activity is first created. */     @Override     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);         setContentView(R.layout.main);         ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;         HistoryList = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.history);         adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String> (this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,HistoryList);         setListAdapter(adapter);     }  } 

Answer 1

Go into layout create a new xml file named mylist.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"   android:id="@android:id/text1"           android:paddingTop="2dip"          android:paddingBottom="3dip"      android:layout_width="fill_parent"      android:layout_height="wrap_content" />  

now in the code

        adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String> (this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,HistoryList); 

change it to

        adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String> (this,R.layout.mylist,HistoryList);
