How to have a transparent ImageButton: Android

Answer 1

DON'T USE A TRANSAPENT OR NULL LAYOUT because then the button (or the generic view) will no more highlight at click!!!

I had the same problem and finally I found the correct attribute from Android API to solve the problem. It can apply to any view.

Use this in the button specifications:

android:background="?android:selectableItemBackground"

Answer 2

You can also use a transparent color:

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

Answer 3

Use "@null" . It worked for me.

<ImageButton
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:srcCompat="@drawable/bkash"
    android:id="@+id/bid1"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
    android:background="@null" />

Answer 4

Try using null for the background ...

android:background="@null"

Answer 5

in run time, you can use following code

btn.setBackgroundDrawable(null);

Answer 6

This is programatically set background color as transparent

 ImageButton btn=(ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.ImageButton01);
 btn.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
