Problem

Recently, I implement webbased-application on Android. I want to make webview's background color Transparent. Searching, i've found that two lines for Webview. ``` newWebView.setBackgroundColor(0x00000000); newWebView.setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null); ``` It works for Android version 4.0~4.3, but does not work for 4.4 KITKAT. I got just white-background. Addtionally, when i set background color, black, shown below : ``` newWebView.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLACK); ``` Also I saw white-background. Is there anybody knows the solution ?
