Why is My Listview is not showing my items?

I have a listview that I want to show several items. However, after the program compiles, nothing shows up and I am unsure as to why.

    ListView listView = findViewById(R.id.quikList);
    ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();

    list.add("Hello");
    list.add("Is it me youre looking for?");
    list.add("I can see it in your smile and I want so badly to make this listview work");

    ArrayAdapter<String> aa = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
            android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1, list);
listview.setAdapter(aa);

I don't know why this pretty basic task is not working. I think it might be due to android.R.id.text1, but I'm not sure as to why. Any sort of light anyone can shed on this topic would be fantastic.

Try this:

ListView listView = (Listview)findViewById(R.id.quikList);

String list[] = {"Hello","Is it me youre looking for?","I can see it in your smile and I want so badly to make this listview work"};   

ArrayAdapter<String> aa = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.simple_list_item_1, R.id.textView, list);

listview.setAdapter(aa);

No need of 3rd param just remove this line android.R.id.text1

ArrayAdapter<String> aa = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                    android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, list);
listView.setAdapter(aa);

Solution 2:

May be your theme issues which means your Textview color same as Listview background color..

so just change your listview background color...

android:background="@android:color/holo_red_dark"
