Parent and Alpha are not real properties of the view.
You can change the view's color with Color:

B4X:

Button1.Color = Colors.ARGB(..)

The way to change a parent is by first removing the view from its current parent by calling View.RemoveView and then add the view to the new parent: Panel.AddView(...).

The Problem I have with ARGB is if I just want to change the Alpha for a view I don't have the RGB colors. It would be nice if those were available or there were an Alpha only function.

Surely you have to read the RGB values first, then pump these in to ARGB and set A..

How do I read the RGB values of views created in Designer?

This is an old thread. You should have started a new thread for this question.

There is no simple way to get the view color. In most cases the background is not a simple color but rather a more complicate Drawable object.
