Remove the background of a textview

Question

I set a background for a textview and I want to remove it dynamically but it dosen't work, are there any suggestion?

if (mToday) {
        monthView[mRow][mColumn].setBackgroundResource(R.color.black);
    }
    else {
        monthView[mRow][mColumn].setBackgroundResource(0);
    }

I found a reasonable explanation here why it is happen, but again didn't solve the problem.

Answer 1

try this.

txtEmail.setBackgroundResource(android.R.color.transparent);
