Question

How to make ListView transparent in android?

The Android background image should be visible.

Answer 1

You should use more detailed

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

Updated with Jackie's answer. I initially just wanted to add to his answer, since he used a simple hex in the sample.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

• How to make ListView transparent in android?

As Jackie said, setting attributes to view the list will do the job.

 android:background="#00000000" android:cacheColorHint="#00000000" 

• The Android background image should be visible.

In the Android manifest file, add the following attribute to the activity.

 android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Dialog" 

Answer 4

try the following:

 list.setCacheColorHint(Color.TRANSPARENT); 

Answer 5

Add this so the list items remain transparent when clicked:

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

Answer 6

This article helps explain the nuances of ListView in combination with a custom background - http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/listview-backgrounds.html

tl; dr - put this in an abusive ListView xml somewhere:

android:cacheColorHint="#00000000"

Answer 7

If you want to use partial transparency, this will help you when setting up color codes.

2 hexadecimal characters can be added to any hexadecimal color code. The first 2 characters in an 8-digit hexadecimal color code represent its opacity in Android.

Two hexadecimal characters can range from 00 to FF. For example -

• Normal opaque black hex- "# 000000"
• Fully transparent black - "# 00000000"
• Completely opaque black - "# FF000000"
• 50% transparent black - "# 80000000"

Thus, you can change any color to any level of transparency.

Answer 8

You can use these

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

Answer 9

The answers above will work, but it is likely that when you scroll through the ViewView list, it will be darkened, as in this case: the problem with the android list with transparent cells

To solve this problem, you can use cacheColorHint as described above, but if you add ListView dynamically (from code, not xml), then this will not work. You are forced to declare a ListView in XML, dunno if this is an error or something else.

Answer 10

try the following:

 android:cacheColorHint="@null"
