background of my activity becomes transparent while closing the app


I've created a calculator app, and it works fine, but there's one question - why the background becomes transparent when i close the app by performing home gesture? Here's how it looks:

This is when app is working

how to repair this? Thanks, any help appreciated.

                android:padding="8dp" />

        </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>
    </LinearLayout>

I tried disabling the night mode of the system, and apparently in white mode the problem doesn't appear. So the dark mode is causing the problem.


Solution

  • If the dark mode from your phone does that, then you can check res->values->themes->themes.xml(night) and set the default background color.

    Another fix is to set the background in the LinearLayout. "android:background="#ffffff"" / "android:background="@color/your_color""

    Example:

    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/your_color"
    android:padding="16dp">
    
    
    <LinearLayout
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom"
        android:layout_weight="1">
    
    
        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="130dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
            android:layout_weight="0"
            android:layout_gravity="bottom"
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            >
    
            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/textViewResult"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_gravity="bottom"
                android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
                android:layout_marginBottom="1dp"
                android:layout_weight="2"
                android:text=""
                android:textAlignment="textEnd"
                android:textSize="50sp" />
