bitmap.eraseColor(COLOR.TRANSPARENT) not working on surfaceview
<p>I have a surfaceview in my layout, which i draw a bitmap to.
I make the surfaceview transparent by calling this code :</p>

<p>// framebuffer is a Bitmap</p>

<pre><code>    setZOrderOnTop(true);
    this.framebuffer = framebuffer;        
    this.holder = getHolder();        
    this.holder.setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSPARENT);
</code></pre>

<p>Now i want to clear the screen by using this :</p>

<pre><code>    framebuffer.eraseColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
</code></pre>

<p>But it does not work.
If i replace Color.TRANSPARENT with any other color it does paint the whole surface with that color i.e.</p>

<pre><code>    framebuffer.eraseColor(Color.WHITE);
</code></pre>

<p>Anyone have any ideas ? 
Thanks in advance.</p>
