android - Specifying transparent cutouts in xml drawable -

does android back upwards specifying transparent cutouts in xml shape drawables?

note: i'm using android studio , targeting api 14+.

i'm trying create simple images , several objects. but, far, if specify color alpha of 0, don't see shape @ all. want, foreground shape, alpha of 0 color, create transparent area cuts out layers below it.

i'd rather not in code.

can show me illustration of how this?
