UIWebView over an UIView gets UIView alpha value

I'm developing an iOS 4 application.

I have a main view that contains another UIView, named shadowView, with an UIWebView inside. This shadowView has black as background color and alpha = 0.3f.

My problem is that UIWebView inherits shadowView alpha value, and I don't want that, I need UIWebView has alpha = 1.0.

Do you know how can I do that?

If I understand your question, you have added a UIWebView to a UIView which has an alpha of 0.3.

On iOS, any sub-views inherit their parent views alpha values (or rather, the parent view 'masks' the sub-view).

It sounds as if you want your shadowView to have a translucent background: rather than setting the alpha of the view, you should instead do this:

[shadowView setAlpha:1.0];
[shadowView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor colorWithWhite:0.0 alpha:0.3]];`

...which will (as long as your view isn't set to be opaque) give you a nice translucent background and allow your sub-views to not appear transparent as well.
