Set transparent background of an imageview on Android

I am using a web view in which I am adding an image view. How can I set the background of this image view to transparent?

I have tried this:

mImageview.setBackgroundResource(R.color.trans);

Where trans → <color name="trans">#00000000 </color>.

Solution

  • In your XML set the Background attribute to any colour, White(#FFFFFF) shade or Black(#000000) shade. If you want transparency, just put 80 before the actual hash code:

    #80000000

    This will change any colour you want to a transparent one.. :)
