    Right Found the answer! I am using a LinearLayout

       // Get External Storage Directory
        String sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
        LinearLayout li=(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layoutid);
        li.setBackgroundDrawable(Drawable.createFromPath(newFile(sdcard,"/s1bg.jpg").getAbsolutePath()));
