    This move you explained it cause me a lot of problems when I press clean any make another xml file I got 7 errors at least
    I found a better move to let the picture appear, just restart eclipse !

    Dude great tutorial i have a problem with the code

    so i add new xml file and label it splash.xml like you said went to xml code but

    it just shows

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    it doesnt show Linear Layout

    isn't using a splash screen on Android a bad UX design? Android doesn't need it

    You are the best! I looked for this everywhere and it didn't work! But yours did!

    For some reason there's no errors, setup exactly the same way, and the app force closes in the emulator. Anyone else had this issue?

  18. Santo Gajof Avatar

    After I cleaned it, a bunch of errors appeared and everything in the graphical layout disappeared :S
    Any suggestions?

  20. Divine Jakiro Avatar

    anyone had idea? for new 4.4.2, there is no RAW such folder, where had it go?

  21. theoaristi53 Avatar

    I think you can do this by using objects too!!! But objects mean more space in the memory heap,so I will stick to this one!!!:)

  36. tharealdeal15 Avatar

    i get this someone plz help

    java.lang.NullPointerException
    Exception details are logged in Window > Show View > Error Log
    The following classes could not be found:
    – LinearLayout (Change to android.widget.LinearLayout, Fix Build Path, Edit XML)

  37. laseism Avatar

    I had the same error pop up and i noticed the LinearLayout line was closed before i typed in the "android:background…". So make sure you write that inside the greater than and less than signs

  38. Laggy44 Avatar

    I'm getting an error. It seems to think that my .png background is a text file. I get a warning that says, "unexpected text found in layout file."
    Any reason for that?

  39. Shane Raweewonrungjumrus Avatar

    Thanks! I was also trying to use the newest phone with API level of 18 I believe (14 or 18?) So I used the one thenewboston used in this tutorial and it's ok. Only problem now is for certain apps I want to make, it's not compatible with this setup he's using.
