Remove background drawable programmatically in Android

Question

I want to remove the background drawable @drawable/bg programmatically. Is there a way to do that?

Currently, I have the following XML in my layout:

Answer 1

First, you have to write in XML layout:

android:visibility="invisible" <!--or set VISIBLE-->

then use this to show it using Java:

myimage.setVisibility(SHOW); //HIDE

Answer 2

This helped me remove background color, hope it helps someone. setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT)

Answer 3

Use setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT) to set the background as transparent, or use setBackgroundColor(0). Here Color.TRANSPARENT is the default attribute from color class. It will work fine.

Answer 4

I have a case scenario and I tried all the answers from above, but always new image was created on top of the old one. The solution that worked for me is:

imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.image);

Answer 5

Try this code:

imgView.setImageResource(android.R.color.transparent); 

also this one works:

imgView.setImageResource(0); 

but be careful this one doesn't work:

imgView.setImageResource(null);
