Question

i want to set background of linearlayout with repeating image.
i have 2 files.

main_bg.xml

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:src="@drawable/bg"
    android:tileMode="repeat" />

and main.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/main_bg"
    >

and i’ve bg.png image on folder drawable.
But Eclipse says there’s an error
error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at ‘background’ with value ‘@drawable/main_bg’).

How to fix it?

Answer 1

Place main_bg.xml in drawable folder. That is in res/drawable.
