dynamically changing text size

I want to allow users to choose which text size to view my app in. I have a select menu which takes the value and saves it in preferences. I am updating my TextViews in my layouts using the code below:

Code (Text):

1. TextView copyrightText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.copyright);
2. copyrightText.setTextSize(mTextSize);

Is it possible to do the same thing for ListViews? When I uncomment the second line I get an error. I'm not sure I understand how ArrayAdapter works:

Code (Text):

1. TextView list_item_text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.list_item_text);
2.  //list_item_text.setTextSize(mTextSize);
3.  
4. String[] values = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.values_array);
5. ArrayAdapter<String> mArrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.list_item, values);
6. setListAdapter(mArrayAdapter);
7. ListView lv = getListView();

Thanks!
