Suggested text is not displayed in autoCompleteTextBox in android

Question

as the background color and text color of suggetsed text in AutoCompleteTextBox in android are same so the suggetsed text is not visible, my xml file is:

            <AutoCompleteTextView
            android:id="@+id/autoCompleteTextView1"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="2.4"
            android:background="#ffffff"
            android:ems="10"
            android:textColor="#000000" >
            </AutoCompleteTextView>

and my manifest file is:

<uses-sdk
    android:minSdkVersion="8"
    android:targetSdkVersion="9" />

<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" >

and my java file is: protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.patient_registration);

    // Get a reference to the AutoCompleteTextView in the layout
    AutoCompleteTextView textView = (AutoCompleteTextView)    findViewById(R.id.autoCompleteTextView1);
    // Get the string array
    String[] countries = { "jan", "fbe", "mar", "june", "kokok", "opopopo" };
    // Create the adapter and set it to the AutoCompleteTextView
    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
            android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, countries);
    textView.setThreshold(1);

    textView.setAdapter(adapter);

}

Try to use android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line instead of android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 - it worked for me.
