How to apply a color filter to a view with all children

Question

How do I grey out a view uniformly which contains many different items - ImageViews, TextViews, background image. Do I have to grey out each thing individually? Or is there

Answer 1

What I like to do is create a view which overlaps the view you are trying to tint and set its background to a transparent color. Then you can turn the tint on and off by setting that views visibility

Then in your controller:

m_DisabledBlackTintOverlay = (View) view.findViewById(R.id.login_disabled_black_tint_overlay);

m_DisabledBlackTintOverlay.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
