How can I make an image transparent on Android?

Question

I am using a linear layout and frame layout. In the linear layout I keep an image as background and in the frame layout I keep an imageView. In that imageView I give an image.

Answer 1

Image alpha sets just opacity to ImageView which makes Image blurry, try adding tint attribute in ImageView

 android:tint="#66000000"

It can also be done programatically :

imageView.setColorFilter(R.color.transparent);

where you need to define transparent color in your colors.xml

#66000000
