Set transparent background of an imageview on Android

android, android-widget

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.. :)

Problem

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>`.
