I’ve searched and I haven’t found a way to get a certain level of transparency in a colored button while the text of the button is 100% visible.
There has been options to get certain levels of transparency in a button, but the text also becomes transparent and that’s not what I want.
Any pointers?
Do do it in code, you can use:
yourButtonName.getBackground().setAlpha(int alpha)
where alpha is an int between 0 and 255.
Do do it in XML, you would add something like this to your button attributes:
android:background="#8000FF00"
This would yield a 50% opaque green color.
To better understand how we arrive at the code "#8000FF00" , look here.
