Android EditText Transparent Background

I want to have a transparent background for Android EditText widget. H开发者_StackOverflow社区ow is that possible?

Try this

android:background="@null"

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

You can also set it using java code

myTextView.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);

1. in xml file you use this property:

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

2. and in java file run time in onCreate method use:

   edittext.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);

Very simple:

android:alpha="0.5"

Put this property in edittext:

android:background="@null"

android:background="#00000000"

You can also do it programitically like this:

 TypedValue value= new TypedValue();
 getApplicationContext().getTheme().resolveAttribute(android.R.attr.selectableItemBackground, value, true);

  myButton.setBackgroundResource(value.resourceId);

EditText, like any other view/component can be customized in the xml file. You just need to include below attribute in the EditText attributes.

 android:background="@null"

set this in layout will work

android:background="@color/transparent

and add this in colors.xml

<color name="transparent">#00000000</color>

For XML code use:

android:background="@color/transparent

or

android:background="@null"

For Java code:

myEditText.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);

Use translucent theme

<activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent">
