why i am not getting android:background option in XML

Question

I am trying to setup a splash screen. When I am adding a background in LinearLayout, the xml is not showing me the android:background option. I have already added the (600 X 400).png image into @drawable/hdpi folder. Please help me out.

Answer 1

It always happens for me. Make sure you already added the image in your drawable folder and then Clean your project. It's all Eclipse's problem.

Answer 2

Xml editors get messy sometimes, I use ctrl+shift+f and it works again, but it doesnt happen that often in most recent ADT.

Answer 3

It can happen sometime to me too, for no particular reason whatsoever. However, if you just write it down, without suggestion from eclipse, it will still be shown :)
