How to change text color of android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1?

Question

I am setting adapter to listview and the text color is showing white. How can i change the text color without making my own row item layout? Below is my code which is throwing this error-

01-15 16:33:40.197: E/AndroidRuntime(6088): java.lang.NullPointerException
01-15 16:33:40.197: E/AndroidRuntime(6088):     at com.mb.pyramid.ui.fragment.DeviceListFragment$2.getView(DeviceListFragment.java:73)

My code :

mBTAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(getActivity().getApplicationContext(), android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1) {
                @Override
                public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
                    View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
                    TextView textView = (TextView)view.findViewById(android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1);
                    textView.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);

                    return view;
                }
            };

android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 contains only a TextView . In this case you can cast the return value of super.getView(...) avoiding the findViewById :

TextView textView = (TextView) super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
textView.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);
return textView;
