Question

I want to create a linear layout with buttons and text but I need a background ImageView so I can change the image in teh background. The controls on top would be semi transparent so the image underneath shows through. How to do using Android SDK 2.3 or above

Thanks

Answer 1

Then,

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/lila_background"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:padding="5dp"
    android:background="@drawable/img_background"
    android:orientation="vertical"

And when you need the change i think it’s something like..

 ((LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.lila_background)).setBackgroundDrawableResource(R.drawable.image_name);
