That sounds very interesting. I got a widget that is placed on the home screen, and the XML layout for the widget has set the background using android:background. The background image is a 9-patch image. There's a service that is updating the widget with new information, like settings. Configuring transparancy of the background is one of the settings.
How do you get hold of the background of RemoteViews so that you can change the alpha settings and draw it with new transparancy? (Sorry if I hijacked this thread, I just thought that the question is related to the original question, and that the answer probably is related to both the OP and me.)
