title: Android: Set a background color and a translucent background image on the Activity
body: <p>I have an Android activity which has three buttons. I have set a color for the main activity <code>LinearLayout</code>'s background via:</p>
  
  <pre><code>android:background="@color/homeBgColor"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to put up a translucent background image behind the buttons on the activity. I tried using an <code>ImageView</code>, but it pushes the buttons down.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to set the background color as well as image for the activity, like we do in CSS?</p>
  
  <pre><code>#mydiv{ backround: #262626 url("link-to-my-img.png");}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
