android - Change ListView's textcolor

Question

I am trying to change the text color of the ListView but I cant find how to do that..<

    listViewObject= (ListView) findViewById(R.id.chathlist);        
    ArrayList<String> chatHistory = new ArrayList<String>();
    chatHistory.add("Msg 1");
    chatHistory.add("Msg 2");
    chatHistory.add("Msg 3");
    chatHistory.add("Msg 4");
    chatHistory.add("Msg 5");
    chatHistory.add("Msg 6");
    chatHistory.add("Msg 7");
    ArrayAdapter aa=new ArrayAdapter<String>(getApplicationContext(),
    android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, chatHistory);
    listViewObject.setAdapter(aa);
    listViewObject.invalidate();

I have tried many ways but I can't change the color. It maybe a simple thing but I'm fighting with this.

My XML file is

  <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/chat_history_container"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
            <ListView android:paddingTop="15dip" android:paddingBottom="15dip"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:paddingLeft="15dip"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/chathlist"
                android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
                android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:paddingRight="15dip"
                 android:textColor="#FF0000"  android:listSelector="@drawable/gradient_box" >
            </ListView>
  </RelativeLayout>
