Hi, I have a root view (LinearLayout) and a bunch of views placed on top of it. Now, I would like to change the brightness of all views, let's say to 50%.
Instead of changing the color of each view individually, it would be so much nicer if I could just place a view on top of all views, covering the whole screen and acting like a filter. If this top-view is black, I can control the brightness of all the views underneath it by adjusting the alpha value. For this to work, I would need to tell Android to render the root view in front of all the other views but I can't find a way to do this. Any ideas? The actual reason for this weird request is that I want to be able to dim the screen. There's some functionality to turn the brightness of the screen down but the lowest setting is still too bright. The only way to get the views darker seems to be to change the colors of the views themselves. Rather than changing 50 items, it would be great to put just one view on top of the whole tree, like a pair of sunglasses. Or is there a better way? thanks for your time, Martin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
