Answer 1

Change this line to: in gridadapter:

if (convertView == null) {
        layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        gridView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.gridlist, parent, false); 
}

Answer 2

请勿在网格列表中使用match_parent ，而TextView的layout_heiht通过wrap_content对其进行补充，并为TextView设置特殊颜色（白色除外）。

Answer 3

In adapter change this :

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        convertView= layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.gridlist,null);
        TextView textView = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.gridtext);
        textView.setText(names[position]);
        return convertView;
    }

Answer 4

Use RecyclerView instead of GridView in future. Your problem is with setting color for TextView, check to set textColor to black
