Re: [android-developers] Same color specified in xml file and png appear differently?
I'm not quite sure what's going on - if I specify the color in my layout xml like so with alpha = FF: #ffebebeb then at least in the layout editor it now matches the color of my png (created in photoshop, with the same #ebebeb specification). When I run the app though, the emulator is showing it as a different type of grey. Did I miss what you meant by alpha channel difference, Mark?

For starters, you need the alpha value of your background color to be the same as the alpha value of your PNG file. You know what the alpha value of your background color is, because you are setting it. Now, you need to determine the alpha value that Photoshop used with your PNG file. Also, if you choose a non-opaque (i.e., less than FF) alpha, things get more complicated, as you have to take into account the stuff the alpha channel is blending from behind the respective widgets. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 1.9 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Re: [android-developers] Same color specified in xml file and png appear differently?
Yeah I guess that's why I'm confused, the alpha of my png is 100%. So when I set the background color in the xml file to explicitly have alpha = ff, then the layout editor shows the two colors matching. It's just that when I run the app, the emulator (and n1 at least) show the background color (not the png) as the different grey, same as when I was previously *not* setting the alpha = ff.
