title: Transparent InputMethod for Android
body: <p>Trying to make an Android InputMethod that is transparent - i.e. the underlying content shows through to the keyboard that I am developing.</p>
  
  <p>I've been able to make the View that I pass to the system transparent - I think - but there seems to be something underneath my view that is solid white - and obfuscating the underlying content.</p>
  
  <p>It is definitely possible, these guys do it:</p>
