My App not showing text colors except black and white on nexus 4 lollipop device

Question

My App is not showing text colors except black and white on nexus 4 lollipop device. My app contains just a text view with hello world red colored text. But it is appearing black on my device.

Emulator is showing Red colored "Hello world!" but my device shows it in black color.... No matter whatever color i choose my nexus 4 lollipop device shows it in black color.... Sorry i am new here so i can not post images yet.

This is my xml code:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <TextView
        android:text="@string/hello_world"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@+id/textView"
        android:textColor="#f00"
        android:textSize="40sp"
        android:gravity="center"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Same app is showing colors on emulator but not showing on my device. — Saif, Apr 06 '15 at 11:37
paste your code lines and if possible provide screenshot of device and emulator both to compare. Thanks — Kushal, Apr 06 '15 at 11:48

Try using

android:textColor="#ffff0000"

instead of

android:textColor="#f00"
