From above attached picture i need like as shown in green rectangle.so view will be transparent i do like @null,@color/transparent but did not match with my requirement.

This is my requirement:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="com.example.admin.mainapp.MainActivity">


<FrameLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="false">

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/player_surface_frame"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:foregroundGravity="clip_horizontal|clip_vertical"
        tools:ignore="true">

        <SurfaceView
            android:id="@+id/player_surface"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent" />


    </FrameLayout>


</FrameLayout>


<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:background="#10000000"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/screenshot"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="left"
        android:paddingLeft="5dp"
        android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher" />

    <ToggleButton
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center"
        android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" />


    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="right|center_vertical"
        android:foregroundGravity="right"
        android:paddingRight="5dp"
        android:background="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:text="sasa" />
</LinearLayout>

This is my attached code.There is surfaceLayout which is having a black background and one linear layout at bottom side for buttons(on/off)video so i need that view will be somehow transparent.

Try setting `background color` to `black` and `android:alpha=".6" ` to change its opacity.. — Guruprasad J Rao, Mar 24 '17 at 06:39
http://stackoverflow.com/a/17239853/7320259 take color of view as black and then give transparency according to your need from the link. e.g #80000000 — Zaki Pathan, Mar 24 '17 at 06:40
@IsmailIqbal:-what u want to say?already attached the piece of code and tried all solutions but really difficult for me to manage. — sagar potdar, Mar 24 '17 at 07:04
try using different color light dark grey or something else with different transparency — Zaki Pathan, Mar 24 '17 at 07:05

you can use below code,

   <RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/footer_ad"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:background="#151515"
    android:alpha=".3"></RelativeLayout>
