TextView text color does not change

I am trying to change the text color of a TextView. This is the code I am using:

XML:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/eks"

    />

Java:

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_schedule);
        Intent intent = getIntent();
        TextView txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);

        txt.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#FFFFFF"));  }

Any ideas why the text color is not changing?

If you use the extend of theme Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar, color of the TextView can't change any more.

I would use the Android Resources system to get everything jiving all nice and pretty.

/res/values/colors.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <color name="white">#FFFFFF</color>
</resources>

/res/layout/my_layout.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/eks"
        android:textColor="@color/white" />
</LinearLayout>
