Hi, I have something like the following
The View containing the EditText is a CardView, to which I try to lower the opacity without affecting the other elements, but I only see the alpha property and it affects all the internal components of the Viewas like this:
Is there any way to lower the opacity without decreasing that of the child components?
You could use a Framelayout, then in an imageview that would be the background and your login form.
At the imageview you put transparency and thus it does not affect your login form :)
Something like this:
<FrameLayout>
<ImageView
android:background="@drawable/background"
android:alpha="0.3" />
<LinearLayout>
<Button />
<Button />
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>
