50% opacity at white background for textview

android, background, opacity

Solution

In your layout file just set the background of the TextView to "#8FFF"

<TextView
android:layout_width="..."
android:layout_height="..."
android:background="#8FFF"
/>

Here 8 is the alpha value, FFF are the RGB values respectivley. See here for more info on the background attribute

Problem

I am trying to set `#ffffff`(white) background at 50% opacity to TextView. I tried to use `android:alpha=0.5` but it's also making text 50% transparent. I need to set 50% opacity at white background. I find one tutorial Here but don't understand that much. Please provide me any reference. Thanks in Advance.
