Question

I am trying to build my 1st android app. But their is problem that Photoshop images are not working as a background image of my app. I tried Paint and the images I make in Paint are working quiet well. But images of Photoshop are not working. I've used CS5, CS5.5 and even CS3. Tried a lot of images but none of them worked. Here is an XML code:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/po"> // po is the name of image

I even tried relative layout. I also tried to put the images in all drawable folders. Eclipse shows no error in XML. It's working fine. But when I open graphical layout the background is not their. This is the error message which i see in graphical layout:

Failed lot load D:\Other\Photoshop\New folder\Myapp\res\drawable-hdpi\po.jpg
Exception details are logged in Window > Show View > Error Log

I also tried PNG images, but they are also not working.

Here are the properties of image:

Dimensions 480*600
resolution 300 dpi
resolution unit 2
format     jpg
size       705 kb
Was it helpful?

Solution

Android built-in bitmap decoder does not support JPEG images with CMYK colorspace. Convert/save the images with RGB colorspace.

OTHER TIPS

Do you have a drawable folder? Or only drawable folders with limiters, such as drawable-hdpi?

It could be the device or emulator does not fall into any of the limiting categories.
