How to make a background 20% transparent on Android
How do I make the background of a Textview about 20% transparent (not fully transparent), where there is a color in the background (i.e. white)?
Answer
Use the below code for black:
<color name="black">#000000</color>
Now if I want to use opacity then you can use the below code:
<color name="black">#99000000</color> <!-- 99 is for alpha and others pairs zero's are for R G B -->
And below for opacity code: and all opacity level here
Hex Opacity Values
100% — FF
95% — F2
90% — E6
85% — D9
80% — CC
75% — BF
