        setContentView(R.layout.listening);
        listview = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
        seraechsql2();

            length=jsonArray.length();
            for(int i =0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) 
            {
                JSONObject jsonData = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i);
                String les=jsonData.getString("lesson");

              name.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);//I try to change it to black but fail
               }
                listenlists.add(team);
                final ListenlistAdapter adapter = new ListenlistAdapter(this, R.layout.listenlist, listenlists);
                listview.setAdapter(adapter);
                listview.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
                listview.setSelector(R.drawable.green);
            }
        }
        catch(Exception e){}
    }
}

Answer 1

if you use listview, you must create separate custom layout.simple_list_item_1 with your own customization and you would also need a class to control this layout (add data in it, create new elements etc). It is more complicated than RecyclerView.

Answer 2

I would suggest you to use RecyclerView to list display list of items. You can update based color based on the item position. refer this link - https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/recyclerview
