Problems in ListView in Android

Question

My listview is transparent. I changed it. But still it has a slight transparency. How to disable it as the text aren't viisble.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/sportsbg">

<ListView
    android:id="@+id/list"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="310dp"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:background="#FFffffff"
    android:divider="@color/lists_divider"
    android:dividerHeight="1dp"
    android:paddingLeft="10dp"
    android:paddingRight="10dp"
    android:paddingTop="0dp" />



</RelativeLayout>

`android:background="#FFFFFF"` and then make sure that your `textColor` in `Textview` is not white or something near to white. — Tushar Gogna, Sep 12 '14 at 11:22
@danidee, it doesn't matter as its the background of an activity and not listview — Tushar Gogna, Sep 12 '14 at 11:23
@danidee No its a dark background. so i need the list to be whitish colour. — Ruch1234, Sep 12 '14 at 11:24
u sure about the list isn't *empty* which u used to populate `ListView` — Kaushik, Sep 12 '14 at 11:26
`ListView` is transparent background coz u have set alpha `FF` in xml remove that transparency will be gone [see my answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8587323/android-layout-background-alpha/19427884#19427884) — Kaushik, Sep 12 '14 at 11:49
@kaushik I removed it and also added it. the same effect comes. — Ruch1234, Sep 12 '14 at 11:50
try this `android:background="@android:color/white"` or you can put a solid colored pic and use it as a background like `android:background="@drawable/your_pic"` — Tushar Gogna, Sep 12 '14 at 11:52
if so uninstall the app from device or emulator. Clean your project and run. — Kaushik, Sep 12 '14 at 11:58
Show your java file, might be doing something there dynamically. — Tushar Gogna, Sep 12 '14 at 11:59
it works now. Thanks guys. The problem was there was an layout large which contains the transparency code. and i was testing with a large layout device. — Ruch1234, Sep 12 '14 at 12:02

You can set the background of your listview to

android:background="#FFFFFF"

where as

android:background="#FFffffff"

specifies a alpha.
