Native Android View NO transparent background (works fine on iOS)

[andreiafurbeis]

My flutter application on the main screen has a background image, and I would like to place a native view on it.
As for IOS I managed to make the background of the view transparent and therefore visible the image, for android instead I couldn't find a solution (it always remains white).
Has anyone managed to fix it somehow?

Hi, I have the same issue in one of my projects.
I have a native view which has to be transparent, in iOS this works fine, but in Android I have a defaults white solid background color, and even if I set the background color to transparent is stays white.
This is blocking me to release the app to the store.

Anyone has a fix?

Can someone help us with this issue?
For my company this is a sever issue, blocking a release for a very big customer.

Maybe you could tag with "severe: customer blocker"

flutter/engine#7236 is a proposed fix that's waiting for me to review(for pretty long now, sorry). I'm first dealing with the keyboard stuff which seems to affect more people.
