I have a single PNG file that when referred from the XML bitmap file will generate Failed to parse file error in Eclipse resource editor. When I substitute it with other file everything works. When I run the app – the image will not show up. The XML code is:
<bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:src="@drawable/linen_android_tile"
android:dither="true"
android:tileMode="repeat">
</bitmap>
And here’s the file:

Also if you’re using an indexed png file, try converting it to RGB.
