Android: set custom text color in spinner dropdown

Question

I have custom ArrayAdapter for spinners and need to change text color of items in dropdown. Code seems to be ok, but somehow it doesn't work.

public class CustomRadioArrayAdapter<T> extends ArrayAdapter<T>  {

    public CustomRadioArrayAdapter(Context context, T[] data) {
        super(context, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, data);
        this.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
    }

    public CustomRadioArrayAdapter(Context context, List<T> data) {
        super(context, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item, data);
        this.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);            
    }

    @Override
    public View getDropDownView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View view = super.getDropDownView(position, convertView, parent);
        if (view != null && view instanceof CheckedTextView) {
            ((CheckedTextView) view).setCheckMarkDrawable(R.drawable.radio);
            ((CheckedTextView) view).setTextColor(Color.rgb(255, 0, 255));
        }
        view.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.spinback);
        return view;
    }    
}

UPD I figured out that this code is not working on Android 4.0.4 on Lenovo, while on Android 4.0.3 HTC everything is displayed the right way.

Oh.. not sure about that one. You may want to specify that more clearly in your question — TronicZomB, Jun 21 '13 at 12:12
@TronicZomB I thought saying "dropdown" was clear enough. Anyway, see my updates, may be you have any idea. — Natalia, Jun 21 '13 at 12:17
I think what you will have to do is create a custom layout for the `simple_spinner_dropdown_item`. Though I don't know how to. — TronicZomB, Jun 21 '13 at 13:48
