Android Question Panel is not transparent

[Shay]

Hi

just created simple panel on design
added this code
but panel is not becoming transparent

Sub Popup_Click

   Dim pnlInput As Panel
   pnlSelect.Initialize ("Select")
   pnlSelect.Color  = Colors.ARGB (150,0,0,0)
   Activity.AddView (pnlSelect, 0, 0,   100%x, 100%y)
  
End Sub

any idea why?
(I wish to have it semi-transparent, I also tried ARGB(0,0,0,0) - still no good)

the panel declared and used are different. I do not understand!

This is code part from different thread here (to solve click event)
but basically there is a declare on main activity on this panel

works OK here ...

'background panel for test only
Dim panel1 As Panel
panel1.Initialize ("")
panel1.Color  = Colors.Red
panel1.SendToBack
Activity.AddView (panel1, 20%x, 20%y,  60%x, 60%y)

Sub Popup_Click
  Dim pnlInput AsPanel
  pnlSelect.Initialize ("Select")
  pnlSelect.Color  = Colors.ARGB(150,0,0,0)
  Activity.AddView (pnlSelect, 0, 0,  100%x, 100%y)
End Sub

I will test later...
Do I need to add something to Mainfest?

No ..

If pnlSelect was declared in this activity's Globals ,your code should have worked ?
