I have problem when displaying image with transparency in Android KitKat (Nexus 7), it is OK in nexus 4 (KitKat) and other previous Android OS, here the image:
and ImageView layout:
and here the screenshot when running on Nexus 7 (Android 4.4)
also, I use Picasso for download & caching image from the URL.
After some trial: first I try using the image as resource drawable and it still happen (transparent part of the image become black), secondly I convert the image to png image and it is work, so the problem is in the file type (gif). since in my real app the image obtained from server and I can't request image as always in png format, I use the solution from this link: Transparent GIF in Android ImageView
it is simple for displaying only one image (like in my question) since I use Picasso I use target to erase black color from image avatar like this:
target = new Target() { @Override public void onPrepareLoad(Drawable arg0) { } @Override public void onBitmapLoaded(Bitmap bitmap, LoadedFrom arg1) { if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT == 19/*Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT*/){ Bitmap editedavatar = AndroidUtils.eraseColor(bitmap, -16777216); avatar.setImageBitmap(editedavatar); } } @Override public void onBitmapFailed(Drawable arg0) { avatar.setImageResource(R.drawable.ic_profile_default);
where erase color is static method
public static Bitmap eraseColor(Bitmap src, int color) { int width = src.getWidth(); int height = src.getHeight(); Bitmap b = src.copy(Config.ARGB_8888, true); b.setHasAlpha(true); int[] pixels = new int[width * height]; src.getPixels(pixels, 0, width, 0, 0, width, height); for (int i = 0; i
but since I use Picasso for displaying images in a listview,I impelements Target in ViewHolder and it is work very well so far.
Try this :
android:background="@android:color/transparent"
or
imageView.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
Hope this helps.
