Transparent View over Linear Layout in Android

Question

Hello I am making an android application where I need to place a transparent view over a LinearLayout. See in the screenshot View where "04" is written is transparent but not completely. Any idea to make this view transparent with some color.

I made the LinearLayout with rounded and set the color also.

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/thirdLinearLayout"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_below="@id/secondRelativeLayout"
    android:background="@drawable/clock_check_in_rounded_drawable"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >     

</LinearLayout>

clock_check_in_rounded_drawable.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

    <solid android:color="@color/cyan_text_color" />

    <corners android:radius="10dp" />

</shape>

Before I answer your question, lets see about the html color codes:

• Black: #000000
• Translucent Black: ##55000000

• Transparent Black: ##FF000000

  SO here the first two digits specify the transparency of the color.You can have values from 00 to FF for complete transparency.
