[Android] borderColor is broken for transparent colors

[cosmith]

Setting borderColor: "rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5)" works but borderColor: "rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.6)" gives a black border.

@cosmith Is this still an issue?

[cosmith]

Sorry for the delay, still an issue on 0.16 but I haven't had the time to upgrade to 0.17 or 0.18.

I'm seeing this in 0.17, however opacity of 0.5 also appears as black.

I'm also seeing this in 0.17 on Android

I've tried a number of combinations...for e.g.

mystyle: { height:1, borderBottomWidth:1, borderColor:'rgba(255,255,255,0.5)', borderTopWidth:0, borderLeftWidth:0, borderRightWidth:0, },

Seeing this on master, seems related to color parsing? cc @andreicoman11

Can confirm on 0.18, still an issue.

Happening in 0.22 still. Black border for any alpha value except 1.0.

Happening still in 0.23.0-rc. It seems like instead of a real opacity being calculated, a different color value is being applied. So, the blacks turn into greys, but are fully opaque.
