One common way to adjust the transparency of a background image in Android is by using the opacity property.

  1. Add an ImageView to your layout file to display the background image. For example:
<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:src="@drawable/background_image" />
  1. In your Java code, locate the ImageView and adjust its opacity. For example:
ImageView imageView = findViewById(R.id.imageView);
imageView.setAlpha(0.5f); // 设置透明度，取值范围为0.0f到1.0f，0.0f表示完全透明，1.0f表示完全不透明

In this example, we set the transparency to 0.5f, which means the background image will be displayed as semi-transparent.

Please note, if you want to set the transparency of the layout background, not just the ImageView’s background transparency, you can apply the transparency property to the entire layout or container.
