how to change black background to transparent view in opengl-es(iphone)?please help me...
it is actual output.. it is created in opengles view;
but i don't wants background black color...

A: In your rendering loop for the opengl view are you clearing the alpha to 0.0?
glClearColor(0,0,0,0);

Also, have you set the opaque and drawableProperties of the view correctly? For transparent backgrounds I use:
yourlayer.opaque=NO;

yourlayer.drawableProperties = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
[NSNumber numberWithBool:FALSE], kEAGLDrawablePropertyRetainedBacking, kEAGLColorFormatRGBA8, kEaglDrawablePropertyColorFormat, nil];
