Overlay over RelativeLayout doesn't work on images in the layout

I'm having a relativeLayout with textviews and imageviews.

When I overlay the layout like this:

    color = new ColorDrawable(Color.argb(80, 0, 0, 0));
        mMainLayout.setBackground(color);

The layout has some darker color.

Except the imageviews they keep the same. So I thought I give it a try with

 statsImage.setImageAlpha(255);

But still the image keeps the same.

Can someone help me?

Someone also an explanation why the imageview doesn't get the overlay? It is a child of the layout:

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/headerImage"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/shape_profile_pic" />


    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/statsImage"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="70dp"
        android:background="@drawable/shape_stats" />
</RelativeLayout>

EDIT:

I now got this:

  <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <View
        android:id="@+id/overlayMainView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
       />

And I set the background color like this:

color = new ColorDrawable(Color.argb(80, 0, 0, 0));
mMainViewOverlay.setBackground(color);

Found the solution. You need to use the code like in my edit. You just need to add the "black" view at the end of the relative layout otherwise all the things you add after the view lay on top off the view.
