Question

Answer 1

A:

android:cacheColorHint=#00000000 should do the trick. Where in your layout XML did you put it? It should go in ListView, for example:

<ListView
    ...
    android:cacheColorHint="#00000000"
    ...
/>

Problem is I have originally used a listview tutorial not a custom view so I cannot seem to add a listview element:

when I do it crashes

What does that even mean? You said your layout was in XML (main.xml, most likely). Your ListView already exists, just place the cacheColorHint inside the ListView you've already defined.

The listview was originally default and used the default list in android, it is pointing to the main xml but it is not identified by a id, so I cannot add it to a list view element, when I create a xml with a list view id and specify that in the code it force closes if I add it to the main xml it force closes. I think I might have to create a new custom list view to get this to work the way I need it too.

No, you don't need to make a custom ListView. Edit your original post to include your XML file, because what you're saying isn't really making sense.

Answer 2

A:

The Android Developers' blog had a post about that a while ago. According to their post "Why is my list black? An Android optimization", all you need to do is add the android:cacheColorHint="#00000000" attribute to the ListView element.
