Is it possible to use BackgroundFactory to create background with some transparency? or any workaround to achieve that?

[simon_hain]

should be possible. but the background of the screen will still be white.

Does BackgroundFactory.createSolidTransparentBackground() work for you?

Another approach could be to use the transparent bitmap with BackgroundFactory.createBitmapBackground().

just didn't thought that thing exists, I must check the APIs first  before posting on forum.

thanks for the prompt response.

I am actually using BackgroundFactory.createLinearGradientBackground it dont accept alpha as parameter, not event the color value itself is having alpha.

Any thoughts how to achieve that in gradient itself. I think i may have to use drawFilledPath or something like this to create gradient with a bit of transparency.

will go currently with solidTransparentBackground. Meanwhile if anybody find something for transparency in gradient background.
