  <p>I would like to know how to go about setting the background of a <code>TextView</code> in a <code>ListView</code> with gradient effect?</p>
  <p>In one of the questions above, I ended up having the gradient effect added to the text in the <code>TextView</code>. And after skimming through the second question, it seems I can add only fixed background colors.</p>
  <p>How do I go about adding gradient to the background?</p>
  <p>Should I make a <code>CustomListAdapter</code>?</p>
