I come from an iOS background, where one of the rules for fast views is to avoid transparent backgrounds and pngs if possible. I haven’t found any information about this on Android. So my question is, should I use non-transparent views and drawables where possible, or does Android not care about this as much as iOS does?
just like @blackbelt said, transparency always impacts on performance. When possible, avoid using transparent views and/or images.
Also, in Android you can have translucent views/activities. Those will impact performance a few orders of magnitude more than simple transparency. If possible, avoid those too.
