<TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:alpha="0.9"
        />

在Android API 11+中，Alpha范围在0(透明)和1(不透明)之间

你可以尝试这样做:

textView.getBackground().setAlpha(51);

这里你可以将不透明度设置在0(完全透明)到255(完全不透明)之间。51就是你想要的20%

<TextView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:alpha="0.9"
        />

在Android API 11+中，Alpha范围在0(透明)和1(不透明)之间

所有十六进制值从100%到0%的alpha，您可以设置任何颜色的alpha值下面提到。如# FAFFFFFF (AARRGGBB)

我知道，这是个很老的问题。

如果你想使用颜色值，你也可以使用#ARGB的简短版本。其中A是alpha通道的值。

在白色的情况下，有以下透明度值:

#FFFF  -     0%
#EFFF  -   6,7%
#DFFF  -  13,3%
#CFFF  -  20,0%
#BFFF  -  26,7%
#AFFF  -  33,3%
#9FFF  -  40,0%
#FFF8  -  46,7%
#7FFF  -  53,3%
#6FFF  -  60,0%
#5FFF  -  66,7%
#4FFF  -  73,3%
#3FFF  -  80,0%
#2FFF  -  86,7%
#1FFF  -  93,3%
#0FFF  - 100,0%

所以你可以为TextView添加以下行20%的透明度:

<TextView
    android:background="#CFFF"
    ... />

使颜色在alpha通道中占80%。例如，对于红色，使用#CCFF0000:

<TextView
   ...
   android:background="#CCFF0000" />

在本例中，CC为255 * 0.8 = 204的十六进制数。注意，前两个十六进制数字是用于alpha通道的。格式为#AARRGGBB，其中AA为alpha通道，RR为红色通道，GG为绿色通道，BB为蓝色通道。

我假设20%透明意味着80%不透明。如果你的意思是另一种方式，用33代替CC，这是255 * 0.2 = 51的十六进制。

为了计算alpha透明度值的正确值，您可以遵循以下步骤:

Given a transparency percentage, for example 20%, you know the opaque percentage value is 80% (this is 100-20=80) The range for the alpha channel is 8 bits (2^8=256), meaning the range goes from 0 to 255. Project the opaque percentage into the alpha range, that is, multiply the range (255) by the percentage. In this example 255 * 0.8 = 204. Round to the nearest integer if needed. Convert the value obtained in 3., which is in base 10, to hexadecimal (base 16). You can use Google for this or any calculator. Using Google, type "204 to hexa" and it will give you the hexadecimal value. In this case it is 0xCC. Prepend the value obtained in 4. to the desired color. For example, for red, which is FF0000, you will have CCFF0000.
