Answer 1

yes , You can use this code in Style.xml

<style name="transparent" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">//AppCompat is the key; You can choose any other theme than the light-theme, but stick to AppCompat

    <item name="colorPrimaryDark">#00000000</item>//THIS is the important part.
    //Other styling(optional)
</style>

Then to apply it to your layout, simply add the following line in the root layout(view):

android:theme="@style/transparent"
