How to make a linearLayout partially transparent in android?

Question

Answer 1

Make your LinearLayout Background Transparent :

android:background="@android:color/transparent"

and for making your Layout Partially Transparent maybe this Link Helps you : How to create View partially invisible

Edit: if you have an Image as Background of your layout so i think you can set alpha for your LinearLayout and control it from code without changing your background, to Transparent your Layout with Background Image :

android:alpha=""

alpha property of the view, as a value between 0 (completely 
transparent) and 1 (completely opaque)
