Change text color of selected item in spinner

Question

How can I change the font color of the selected item in a spinner?

I am able to change the background color of the selected item, the color of the dropdown item etc, but not the text color of selected item... how can I do that?

my code is: this is spinner i am using--:

<Spinner                 android:id="@+id/spinner1"                 android:layout_width="wrap_content"                 android:layout_height="32dip"                 android:background="@drawable/mybg"                 android:divider="@drawable/list_divider"                 android:drawSelectorOnTop="true"                 android:popupBackground="#D3D5D3"                 android:prompt="@string/activityy_prompt"                  /> 

this is mybg.xml

<!-- <item android:drawable="@drawable/blue" android:state_pressed="false"/> --> <!-- <item android:drawable="@drawable/back11"/> -->  <item android:drawable="@drawable/greenyellow1" android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="false"/> <item android:drawable="@drawable/greenyellow1" android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true"/> <item android:drawable="@drawable/greenyellow1" android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true"/> <item android:drawable="@drawable/greenyellow1" android:state_selected="true"/> <item android:drawable="@drawable/back11"/> 

using these i am not able to change the text color of selecetd item...

Define OnItemSelectedListener like this:

  private AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener listener = new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {         @Override         public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {             ((TextView) parent.getChildAt(0)).setTextColor(0x00000000);         }          @Override         public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {          }     }; 

and then Set OnItemSelectedListener to spinner like this:

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(listener);
