I'm having trouble adding a image to my background, I saw a similar question earlier and none the answers helped me. Ive tried everything "@drawables/myimagename", "myimagename.png", and "myimagename" none of these things seem to work. I even tried to put in the path of the picture, and still nothing.

  • i tried that the drawable/myimage but i get this error :Rendering Problems Couldn't resolve resource @drawable/atl1.png Failed to convert @drawable/myimage into a drawable. im using a png if that matters –  Apr 02 '15 at 02:47
  • guys i feel like a freaking idot, i kept putting .png after myimage (myimage.png) that fixed it. –  Apr 02 '15 at 03:24

Ive tried everything "@drawables/myimagename"

To set image from drawable,drawable-mdpi,drawable-hdpi,... folder's use @drawable/[image_name] instead of @drawables :

android:background="@drawable/myimagename"

you must want that folder name drawable and you also call it like

android:background="@drawable/myimagename"

and the name myimagename must be typed like in the file name in the folder

You cannot use @drawables/, use @drawable/

android:background="@drawable/myimagename"

You need to use this

@drawable/myimagename

instead of 

@drawables/myimagename

Make sure you have the image named myimagename in the drawable folder of your application
