What layout are you using for the ArrayAdapter used for the
AutoCompleteTextView?

http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/views/hello-autocomplete.html

ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this,
            android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, COUNTRIES);

If you do not wish to use android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line,
that is fine, but you will need to then adjust your own custom layout to
have the right color scheme for drop-down lists.
