title: Android Transparent TextView?
body: <p>Simply, <strong>how to make a TextView transparent?</strong> (Not full transparency)</p>
  
  <p>I searched the docs and the StackNetwork and couldn't find it?
  I guess there is something like this.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE</strong></p>
  
  <p>This is the XML code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout
      xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="fill_parent"
      android:gravity="center_horizontal"
      android:orientation="vertical"
      android:background="@drawable/background"&gt;
  
      &lt;ImageView 
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:id="@+id/header"
      android:src="@drawable/logo1"
      /&gt;
      &lt;ListView android:id="@android:id/list"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="fill_parent"
      android:layout_weight="1"
      android:paddingRight="5dp"
      android:scrollbarStyle="outsideOverlay"
      android:cacheColorHint="#00000000" /&gt;
  
  
      &lt;TextView
      android:id="@+id/footer"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:textSize="25sp"
      android:singleLine="true"
      android:background="#07000000"
      android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
      android:text="rrrrr" /&gt;
  
   &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want the <strong>footer</strong> <code>TextView</code> to be transparent <code>so that the ListView items can be seen while scrolling</code></p>
