How to get transparent background of webView for 4.0 version

Question

I am looking for a piece of code which is able to get a transparent background in a WebView for version 4.0 and above. My code is working fine with version 2.3

Answer 1

If webview is scrolable:

Add this to the Manifest:

android:hardwareAccelerated="false"

OR

Add the following to WebView in the layout:

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

Add the following to the parents scroll view:

android:layerType="software"

Answer 2

Try this:

webView.setBackgroundColor(0x00000000);

and remove android:hardwareAccelerated ="true"
as that is off-topic.

Answer 3

setBackgroundColor(0x00000000); will make your webview transparent
