I am trying to make a fragment for search view , where i want my recycler view to be translucent ( the whole view ).

Something like this :

i tried changing the alpha , but it did not help much ! suggestions on what can be done ?

CodePudding user response：

Just set the background colour of your recycler view to transparent colour value. Transparent hex code: #00000000

And if you want it to be translucent then, try using the colour picker of android studio and change the opacity accordingly to get your desired transparency.

I figured it out !!

I added a empty view on top of the reyclerview , with a background colour & alpha of 0.1

also changed the alpha of the recycler view to 0.5

Adding the extra empty view was the key that i was missing
