Our android application has a theme applied at application level and this theme contains the android:windowBackground attribute (white color).
Now I am creating a reusable layout for a widget which will used in multiple screens. This widget also has a background (blue color) and will be used in activities which may or may not have a background applied (we have some activities with @null background).
Here, lint is throwing the following error/warning in this layout:
Possible overdraw: Root element paints background with a theme that also paints a background
It might be showing this error assuming application's theme for the reusable layout. Is there any way to avoid this?
