Shape background as image

I am trying to set shape color as image, but failing to do so. Maybe anyone could tell me how to do this in a proper way? I use this shape as my background for buttons.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

     android:shape="rectangle">
    
    <corners android:bottomRightRadius="7dp"
        android:bottomLeftRadius="7dp" 
        android:topLeftRadius="7dp"
        android:topRightRadius="7dp"/>
    
        <stroke
        android:width="0.5dp"
        android:color="#ff0000" />
        
        <solid android:color= "@drawable/tableback1" />
</shape>

As you can set the starting two value for color as alpha with total 8 digits for example

#00ffaa44 // here is the fully transparent

#88ffaa44 // semi transparent

#ffffaa44 // fully opaque

you can maintain your color with alpha value as per your requirement

This is not possible in way you presented it in question.

As per documentation here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/drawable-resource.html#Shape solid.color attribute value must be a color and not a drawable. This color is used as a fill for the whole shape. You're passing a drawable which is seen here:

<solid android:color= "@drawable/tableback1" />

Instead it should be something along the lines:

<solid android:color="@color/background_color1" />

Or simply:

<solid android:color="#ffff0000" />
