Android: transparent background for custom drawable

I drew up a custom drawable icon in MS paint, but when I load the image it has a white background instead of transparent, how do I fix this?

I think you have to use better editor for your purposes, which could make the background of your image transparent. MS Paint has no such possibilities.

MS Paint probably saved this without a transparent background. Id recommend using something like GIMP or Paint.NET to create this icon. They are both available free.

You probably need to save it as either a .gif file or a .png file too, as these are compatible with transparency (and Android).
