android - Change text color of selected item in spinner

Question

How can I change the font color of the selected item in a spinner?

I am able to change the background color of the selected item, the color of the dropdown item etc, but not the text color of selected item... how can I do that?

my code is: this is spinner i am using--:

<Spinner
                android:id="@+id/spinner1"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="32dip"
                android:background="@drawable/mybg"
                android:divider="@drawable/list_divider"
                android:drawSelectorOnTop="true"
                android:popupBackground="#D3D5D3"
                android:prompt="@string/activityy_prompt" 
                />

this is mybg.xml

<!-- <item android:drawable="@drawable/blue" android:state_pressed="false"/> -->
<!-- <item android:drawable="@drawable/back11"/> -->

<item android:drawable="@drawable/greenyellow1" android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="false"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/greenyellow1" android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/greenyellow1" android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/greenyellow1" android:state_selected="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/back11"/>

using these i am not able to change the text color of selecetd item...

Define OnItemSelectedListener like this:

  private AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener listener = new AdapterView.OnItemSelectedListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
            ((TextView) parent.getChildAt(0)).setTextColor(0x00000000);
        }

        @Override
        public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {

        }
    };

and then Set OnItemSelectedListener to spinner like this:

spinner.setOnItemSelectedListener(listener);
