title: Recyclerview transparent background
body: <p>How do I make my <code>Recyclerview</code> transparent. Not the items in it, but the actual component itself so I can see the view behind it. I tried this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>android:background="@android:color/transparent"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it doesn't work. If set it to a color (like red or blue) using that attribute it works though...</p>
