                    .getSystemService(inflater);
            v = li.inflate(R.layout.layoutfile, parent, false);
                          if(position==0)
                           {

              TextViewtext= (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
              text.setBackgroundColor(Color.ANY_COLOR);
                            }
