How to change ListView item text color in Xamarin.Android?

I have a simple ListView like below : -

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="@+id/asimplelistView1"

/>


I am binding this ListView by array ArrayAdapter using:

ArrayAdapter<string> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<string>(this, Android.Resource.Layout.SimpleExpandableListItem1,mItems);


My app secondary text color is white(#FFFFFF) and theme is android:Theme.Material.Light..

My problem is: I need to change item text color to gray because items text color is not visible on white background.

In Java we can do like below:

// Create a List from String Array elements
List<String> fruits_list = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(fruits));

// Create an ArrayAdapter from List
ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>
(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, fruits_list){
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent){
// Get the Item from ListView
View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);

// Initialize a TextView for ListView each Item
TextView tv = (TextView) view.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);

// Set the text color of TextView (ListView Item)
tv.setTextColor(Color.RED);

// Generate ListView Item using TextView
return view;
}
};
