Make particular listview row background different color - Android?

I am creating a listview from arrays compiled from data in my database. Array 1: firstnamearray (composed of first names) Array 2: lastnamearray (composed of last names)

Each listview row will have a name listed in it. If the first name is "Joseph", for example, I would like the background of the row to be green. How would I do this?

Here is my code:

CustomList adapter = new CustomList(getActivity(), firstnamearray, lastnamearray);

mainListView.setAdapter(adapter);

Here is my CustomList Adapter:

public class CustomList extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
    private final Activity context;
    private final String[] firstnamearray;
    private final String[] lastnamearray;

    public CustomList(Activity context,
                      String[] firstnamearray, String[] lastnamearray) {
        super(context, R.layout.simplerow, firstnamearray);
        this.context = context;
        this.firstnamearray = firstnamearray;
        this.lastnamearray = lastnamearray;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View view, ViewGroup parent) {

        LayoutInflater inflater = context.getLayoutInflater();
        View rowView= inflater.inflate(R.layout.simplerow, null, true);
        TextView firstname = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.firstname);
        TextView lastname = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.lastname);

        cardnumber.setText(firstnamearray[position]);
        expdate.setText(lastnamearray[position]);

        return rowView;
    }
}

I've researched this and seen some people talk about changing background color on click or selection, but I want it to have a different row color on creation (if first name "Joseph").

Its really simple just check if the name is Joseph. Something like this:

@Override
public View getView(int position, View view, ViewGroup parent) {

    LayoutInflater inflater = context.getLayoutInflater();
    View rowView= inflater.inflate(R.layout.simplerow, null, true);
    TextView firstname = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.firstname);
    TextView lastname = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.lastname);
    if(firstnamearray[position].equels("Joseph")){
    //setbackground color to your desired color
    rowView.setBackgroundColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.red));//color defined in xml
    }else{
    rowView.setBackgroundColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.white));// your default color
    }
    cardnumber.setText(firstnamearray[position]);

    expdate.setText(lastnamearray[position]);

    return rowView;
}
