I believe I have found a graphics bug introduced in the 1.5 platform. I'm looking for some confirmation (or a description of what I'm doing wrong) before reporting it as a real bug.
I have a SurfaceView that fills the screen and on top of that I have a LinearLayout that wraps some other components that overlay the surface. These other components are not visible most of the time, and the LinearLayout has a transparent background so that the SurfaceView is unobstructed until the other components are made visible. Under 1.0 and 1.1 this all worked with a background of #00000000 for the LinearLayout. Now under 1.5 there is a black rectangle obstructing my surface unless I give the LinearLayout background some color. I can still keep the transparency so it is still invisible as it should be but it is strange that it can't be black and invisible anymore. My layout is below. The background of #00000001 works, but changing it to #00000000 results in a black rectangle. <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:keepScreenOn="true" android:background="#000"> <SurfaceView android:id="@+id/surface" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"/> <LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="#00000001" android:paddingRight="85dp" android:layout_centerInParent="true" android:orientation="vertical" android:gravity="center_horizontal"> <TextView android:id="@+id/game_large" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:paddingBottom="8dp" android:background="#00000000" android:textColor="#FFFFFFFF" android:shadowColor="#FF000000" android:shadowRadius="6" android:textSize="36sp" android:textStyle="bold" android:visibility="invisible" android:text="@string/paused"/> <TextView android:id="@+id/game_small" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" android:background="#00000000" android:textColor="#FFFFFFFF" android:shadowColor="#FF000000" android:shadowRadius="3" android:textSize="18sp" android:textStyle="bold" android:visibility="invisible" android:text="@string/paused_detail"/> </LinearLayout> </RelativeLayout> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
