Default buttons looking transparent in Android 3.1

[NJDude]

I installed one of my apps on a Galaxy Tab running android 3.1 and the default buttons are transparent, I tried searching the forums but couldn't find an answer.

Is this a normal behavior on 3.1 or something can be done?

Thanks

Standard button on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10' (Android 3.1) vs. the same button on Android 2.2 emulator:

The attached screenshots show the problem I'm mentioning.

The First one is how it looks on a phone, the other 2 on a Galaxy Tab.

If you like you can upload your project (or part of it) and I'll test it on a Galaxy Tab here.

This is what I found out, if you set the background as a panel with a 255 Alpha, works fine, if you add a picture to the panel's background the button becomes transparent, also, changing the alpha of the panel affects the alpha of the button.

The attached file is a sample, it contains a button, a panel and a picture, if you change the backgound of the panel you will see what's going on.

Is this an Android issue, a B4A issue or something else?.

Thanks.

I don't see any problem:

I tried it on a Toshiba Thrive running 3.1 because I have related issues with it. (In fact, I just logged on to post one.) I don't get the problem on the TT -- it looks fine.

Have you updated your system lately? You might want to see if you and Erel have the same Build Number and Kernel Version.

I had some users who reported a "visual" problem which looks identical to your problem. It turned out they were all using a customized ROM based upon MUI. It happened also with other apps which were NOT written in B4A.

I didn't look into to it further. :sign0013:

No custom ROM here, but maybe that's one reason, who knows, this is the Galaxy Tab info:

Model Number : GT-P7510
Android Version: 3.1
Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3 se.infra@SEP-63 #1

In my case ALL the apps written with B4A show that issue, I'm puzzled.

 

[Erel]

I've tested it on a Galaxy Tab with the same versions except of the kernel: 2.6.26.2 se.infra@serp-58 #1.

Basic4android views are regular Android views. It is most probably a problem somewhere else.

I don't see any problem:

I see a subtle difference, your button looks "plain" mine has a beveled effect, maybe a "theme" is the culprit? but, I can't see any settings or options for themes on this tab.


EDIT: It seems it might have something to do with "Styles", according to what I've read so far.

Yep, I believe it could be due to the styles. Also the MUI-roms implement styles or other graphical eyecandy.
