Alpha-gradient on Android

Question

I need to create an alpha-gradient on the edge of the ImageView. Preferably using only XML.

Answer 1

Need to code a custom ImageView if you want colorless transparency.

If your background is a static color, here's my preferred workaround:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/your_image"/>

    <item>
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <gradient android:startColor="#00efefef"
                android:endColor="#ffefefef"
                android:angle="270"
                android:type="linear"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
</layer-list>
