Make button background transparent yet button text visible Android

I want to make my button transparent in my java application for Android but when I use ``` android:background="@android:color/transparent" ``` It is also making the text on my button invisible and I would like to avoid that. Is there a way to make the text on my transparent button visible? This is full code for my button: ``` <Button android:id="@+id/Button01" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_weight="0.01" android:onClick="scanName" android:orientation="center" android:background="@android:color/transparent" android:text="@string/tap to start scanning" /> ```
