setting the background attribute to transparent in editext dynamically

hi how to set edittext background attribute to transparent dynamically.

setBackgroundColor()
setBackgroundDrawable()
setBackgroundResource()

these options only available . how to set background totransparent with this methods. Please help me to solve this issue.

The best and genuine way:

setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(android.R.color.transparent));

You can use the setBackgroundColor() method and pass an eight-digit hex value in the form of AARRGGBB.

AA = alpha channel (this channel defines the transparency) RR = red channel GG = green channel BB = blue channel

So calling setBackground(0x880000FF) will set the background to a half transparent blue. The 0x at the beginning say that the following value is described in hex.

Please Try this

setBackgroundColor(Color.argb(0, 0, 0, 0));

You can also set in xml file in edittext .

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

Try this

view.startAnimation(new AlphaAnimation(1, 0));

Use

setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
