Material cardView background color for child element

Question

I am using material cardView in my application. Everything is running smoothly. I have set a background color for my cardView and child element individually. It is fine if I have one card with one child element. But I might have to add multiple cards with multiple child elements. My question is

1. Can we make child element inherit the background color of the parent ?
2. Or I have to set everything indidvidually ?

3. Is it possible to give just one background color for entire cardView including child elements ?

   <com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView
       android:id="@+id/cardView2"
       android:layout_width="290dp"
        android:layout_height="140dp"   
        app:cardBackgroundColor="@color/Grey">
   
   <TextView
       android:id="@+id/textViewCardTown2"
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="40dp"
       android:backgroundTint="@color/LightGrey"
       android:fontFamily="sans-serif"
       android:textAlignment="center"
       android:textColor="@color/colorPrimaryDark"/>
   
   </com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView>
   

Answer 1

You can set the background color of the child layout to transparent.

Set:

android:background="00000000";
