In an application to manage the costs of a living community, an user can 'terminate' a month, which is then stored in a database.
In a specific Activity of this app, there are shown the last four months including their attribute 'terminated'. I want to show this to the user by putting a semi-transparent hook on top of the TextView containing this month. Consider this image as example:
It seems that this doesn't work properly in Android.
textView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(...)
does put the image on top, and it's semi-transparent too, but the initial text of the TextView disappears. Additionally, since now I haven't discovered yet how to scale the image into that TextView.
This is the actual output:
Can anybody help me with that? Should I define the scaling parameters directly in the XML layout file?
