android - AutoCompleteTextview Color set white by default

Question

I used an AutoCompleteTextView in my android app and it is working correctly. The only problem I am facing is that the color of the suggestions is white by default that is i am not able to see any suggestions. So when i start typing something the list expands with white entries(invisible), but when i click on any item i find that it is working as it should be. Only the color seems to be the problem. I am using the following code.

<AutoCompleteTextView android:id="@+id/location"  android:textColor="#000000"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></AutoCompleteTextView>

and

 ArrayAdapter<String> autoadapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line,cities);
            city = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.location);
            city.setAdapter(autoadapter);
            city.setThreshold(1);
            city.setTextColor(Color.BLACK);

Can anyone please tell me what the problem is??
-Thanks in advance
