Android Question PNG not transparent

[kepler]

Good afternoon,

I'm really confused with a small detail.

I've created a panel with a color. Inside of it, I've placed an Image View, with Color set to transparent.
In this last one, I load a PNG image, a rounded icon, where the out borders are transparent.

My problem, is that these borders appear white, instead of the color of the panel...

Ok...what am I doing wrong? Can someone point me out the error?

Kind regards,

Kepler

It would be earier to help if you posted a small project showing the problem.

My problem, is that...

... you ALWAYS does not give enough informations. Upload a small project showing the problem (including the transparent png you are talking about)

I'm sorry - I was out of town, without wifi...

That's not true Don. But, here's a piece of the code:

Sub Globals
    Dim pnl2, pnlMain1 As Panel
    Dim Label1 As Label   
    Dim ImageView1 As ImageView
    Dim label2 As Label
    Dim StrUtil2 As StringUtils
End Sub

    pnl2.Initialize("")
    pnl2.color = Colors.Red
    ImageView1.Initialize("Back")
    ImageView1.Color = Colors.Red
    ImageView1.Bitmap = LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,"back.png")
    Activity.AddView(pnl2,0,0,100%x,52dip)
    Activity.AddView(ImageView1,4dip,4dip,44dip,44dip)

Kind regards,

Kepler

Can you post the image? It could the the PNG file itself.
If that's the case, I'll be able to fix it in less than one minute.

 

[kepler]

Yep

There it is.

The image file is fine. I've checked the transparency with Photoshop.

As already said !
Post a small project showing the problem, so we can see what exactly you have done and we can test it !

 

[kepler]

My god... I've posted the main problem - the project is too big!

BUT...Wonder had a point. Photoshop is assuming the image to have a transparent ground. Not true.
I transformed it into a bitmap in coreldraw and exported it as png. That worked...

I can seem to able to understand why photoshop doesn't do the same...I've been working with this program for ages.

Well...these are mysterious ways...

Kind regards,

Kepler

Sounds weird.
I always create my images with Photoshop, never had a problem with transparency.
But make sure your image in Photoshop has no background layer.

Here try this:

'Hmm
    pnl2.Initialize("")
    pnl2.color = Colors.Red
    ImageView1.Initialize("Back")
    ImageView1.Color = Colors.red
    ImageView1.Bitmap = LoadBitmap(File.DirAssets,"back.png")
    Activity.AddView(pnl2, 0, 0, 100%x, 60dip)
    pnl2.AddView(ImageView1, 2dip, 2dip, -1, 56dip)

 

[aeric]

Add this line:

ImageView1.Gravity = Gravity.FILL

 

[aeric]

The reason is the ImageView1 is set to 44dip but the original image is 56x56pixel.

Activity.AddView(ImageView1,4dip,4dip,56dip,56dip)

Are you sure ?
Mostly, the problem is not where YOU think but somewhere else.
If you had posted a small project showing the problem you would have got a solution much faster, instead of needing the helpers try to guess what you could have done wrong!
