I am using the DragableView class in my program. At the beginning of the Activity an Imageview from the designer brings in a png file that encompasses the whole screen. A bitmap (png file) which was created with transparency is loaded and set up for drag-ability. This is added to the view. Once placed on the background screen the transparent(white) parts of the bitmap still shows white. I can get the bitmap to drag and drop but again it is still showing white. This is probably a novice issue but I can't quit figure out how to go about getting this to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
