can someone help me that I come from transparent to an empty picture?

```auto
PImage startlogo; 
int start_time, tnt, count;

void setup() { 
  orientation(PORTRAIT);
  fullScreen();
  startlogo = loadImage("logo.png"); 
  startlogo.resize(displayWidth, displayHeight); 
  start_time = millis();
  tnt = 255;
  textSize(40);
  textAlign(CENTER);
}

void draw() { 
  background(#FFFFFF);
  image(startlogo, 0, 0);
  tint(255, tnt);
  tnt -= 5;
  if (millis()-start_time > 3000) { 
    background(0);
  }
}

```

@paulgoux === this reference is for java mode: not sure that it works with android… Have you tried? - As for me i think (not tested) that you have to create an imageView, add the image to it and use some method like colorFilter

@Rogo === i have tested with an imageView an colorFilter: it works - android MM, android Nougat; yet there are other solutions, less elegant but probably working also
