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>.

You can set the background transparent of any layout, any view, or any component by adding this code in XML:

android:background="@android:color/transparent"
