On newer versions of Android  post Android 4 2  Jelly Bean  at least   the setAlpha int value  method is depreciated  Instead  use the setAlpha float value  method that takes a float between 0 and 1 where 0 is complete transparency and 1 is no transparency

Set an id attribute on the ImageView    lt ImageView android id    id myImage    In your code where you wish to hide the image  you ll need the following code   First  you ll need a reference to the ImageView   ImageView myImage    ImageView  findViewById R id myImage     Then  set Visibility to GONE   myImage setVisibility View GONE     If you want to have code elsewhere that makes it visible again  just set it to Visible the same way   myImage setVisibility View VISIBLE     If you mean  fully transparent   the above code works  If you mean  partially transparent   use the following method   int alphaAmount   128     Some value 0-255 where 0 is fully transparent and 255 is fully opaque myImage setAlpha alphaAmount

Image alpha sets just opacity to ImageView which makes Image blurry  try adding tint attribute in ImageView   android tint   66000000    It can also be done programatically    imageView setColorFilter R color transparent     where you need to define transparent color in your colors xml   lt color name  transparent  gt  66000000 lt  color gt
