I have made a custom MySurfaceView by extending calss SurfaceView itd working fine as per my need but problem is black background I want it transparent.

My code like this.

lay = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.timer_lay);

    MySurfaceView msv = new MySurfaceView(this);
    lay.addView(tv);

and I want that the the background color of timer_lay should become background color of MySurfaceView than I can I do this in onDraw method.
