Android view setBackgroundColor() and night mode

Question

I'm developing an android app and i need to allow user to choose via color picker the list view items's background color. Each listview item is a LinearLayout and i set the background color inside my adapter in this way:

holder.rowLayout.setBackgroundColor(this.backgroundColor!!)

All works perfectly in day mode but when the app switches to night mode i'm experiencing problems with colors.

Let's take this example: in day mode i choose bright green background and it correctly applies to the list:

But when i switch to night mode, colors are the following:

Now, i don't want to disable day\night to all the application. I've all my themes responsive to day\night preference, i just want to avoid dark mode to alter colors of this listview only since it's the user that choose its background color and i don't want Android to alter it.

I've tried to apply older themes to the linear layout and using LinearLayoutCompat without luck. Is there somebody that can help me?

try this, on the XML code object input that line:

android:forceDarkAllowed="false"
