Use android:background="#f3f3f3" in your 2nd textview as well?!? — kgandroid, Aug 30 '16 at 12:55
just declare your color in your res/colors.xml and now set your text background color using android:background="@colors/color_name" for both textview — Rahul Mandaliya, Aug 30 '16 at 12:56
this also works for background http://stackoverflow.com/a/15619017/2855059 — M D P, Aug 30 '16 at 12:59

Set your two *Text View* in either *Relative Layout* or *Linear Layout* as `root layout` and you can provide *background* to that layout so it will hold *background* for both. — Jay Rathod, Aug 30 '16 at 13:13

As you mentioned in comments your second Text View is below to first one. So you can put both Text View in Linear Layout view with orientation vertical and set background to Linear Layout so that both Text View will have same color.

<LinearLayout 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="#f3f3f3"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:layout_width="200dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="192.00 $"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:textSize="36sp" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="200dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
        android:text="192.00 $"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:textSize="36sp" />

</LinearLayout>

Hope this help.

Declare your color in res/values color.xml

 <color name="bg_tv_color">#f3f3f3</color>

and in your Text View tag add.

android:background="@color/bg_color"

You can custom style for text view <style name="TexViewStyle" parent="TextAppearance.AppCompat"> <item name="android:background">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item> </style> and use in text view `

<TextView
    android:text="Test 2"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    style="@style/TexViewStyle"/>`
