663 PointsAdd image via xml: error
Hello,
I've been trying to add an image to my program via xml (since I can't do it via layout since I'm having rendering problems) and I keep getting an error. Here is the code that I used:
android:src="@drawable/main_title.png"
And I have the image in the proper folder, so now I'm stuck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

663 PointsThanks for the response. I tried and got this response: Error:(20, 22) No resource found that matches the given name (at 'src' with value '@drawable/main_title').

28,694 Pointssorry i couldn't help. My images (.bmp, .png) are definitely in the res\drawable folder and I was able to use src or background attributes to access them without the extension.
