How to mod color of active photo background on PicsArt.apk using APKstudio

I need some help in modding apk of PicsArt. I have trouble seeing my transparent pictures in this window here that is the first editing mode when you entered PicsArt. I've successfully changed the background of number 1, as you can see, it was supposed to be dark/black but I changed it to this color code : #eeeeee the code was from colors.xml, you can find that in folder res/value/colors.xml then I changed it to #eeeeee.
Now I really need a help to change the color of number 2. FYI: it's not the picture that has color of black, but it's my transparent picture that shows in black color. I really hope someone could help me to change the color be like in the draw mode, you can see that window has checker-board pattern as the background.
Or if it's not possible it is alright for me to change just the color of it, example grey color.
I've tried myself to change and find some other color codes, but I keep failing to find and change that color. I'm using the latest version of PicsArt, you can download it for free on Play Store. I hope some experts in modding APK will come out and help me, it will be very helpful for me to make my work easier just using my phone.
EDIT : I've uploaded the colors.xml code somewhere click here to see ,
but I dont think any of these code will work for the background colors that I've talked above, because I've tried to change every of it and I failed. I think it's somewhere else in the other folder that contains xml files. please help me

Apply a gradient to a listview in android

I'm trying to use a listview in my application with a gradient from the bottom.
I do not want to use the gradient in the background, I like to use it in the listview.
To try to explain better, I attached a picture of what I want.
The background will show images that will change.
I searched a lot and made ​​several tests, but without success.
I appreciate any help.
Thanks and regards

Android has something built in for that. It is called fading edge. The two XML properties are android:fadingEdgeLength and android:requiresFadingEdge. If you were hoping to have the image gradient change, I don't think they are dynamic.

Android dynamic background

I am somewhat of a new android developer and have a question regarding changing the background dynamically at runtime.
What I want to do is set a background color in a LinearLayout Tag, and later change that background color in my activity class. This code below is not working. Am I missing something or is this the wrong approach for trying to change the background color in a linear layout
LinearLayout lv = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.ChoiceLayout);
lv.setBackgroundColor(0x000080);
Thanks in advance

First thing I've noticed is that your color has ALPHA = 0x00. Which makes it transparent. Try changing to
lv.setBackgroundColor(0xFF000080);

AFAIK, that should work fine. Use hierarchyviewer to try to diagnose what is going wrong.

already answered in another post , unfortunately i don't know that link but know the solution.
use
lv.setBackgroungColor(GetResources().getColor(int color));
