Thanks for your answer indeed i was a bit imprecise; in the xml way only setting the background color does not work. i tried also to use this way
<item name="android:colorBackground">@color/myblue</item> <item name="android:windowBackground">@color/myblue</item> like mentionned in your link with no luck. whereas in the java code this works fine: mytextview.setBackgroundColor(myBackgroundColor); For the programmatical way to apply style to view, indeed i realized my style is completly ignored. it seems that line is not right: TextView nametv = new TextView(this,null,R.style.ListName); the 3rd parameter is ignored. So, so far i am stick both to use default background color (or to change everything from code), and to set my text settings programmatically whereever i have to create new textview in the code :( Thierry.
