android - Customise ListView (Multiple Choices) -

i trying change text color of listview multiple choices. found many questions it, of answers propose create textview layout , allocate adapter solution. when that, checkbox disappear.

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

main_activity.xml

<listview     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:id="@+id/listview"     android:scrollbarthumbvertical="@drawable/scroll"     /> 

you can override getview method in arrayadapter , set text color this.

arrayadapter<string> list = new arrayadapter<string>(this, android.r.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice, countries) {         @override         public view getview(int position, view convertview, viewgroup parent) {             view v = converteview;              if(v = null)                 v = layoutinflater.from(youractivity.this).inflate(android.r.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice, null);              textview tv = (textview) v.findviewbyid(android.r.id.text1);             tv.settextcolor("your_color");              return v;         }     }; listview.setchoicemode(listview.choice_mode_multiple); listview.setadapter(adapter);
