Apps Setting a Background

[pmd5700]

I'm working an a simple app that has 1 Button and 1 Text view. I want to set it up so when I click the button the text changes and the background changes. I also want it so the background takes up the entire screen.

Right now I'm using 2 Image Views and 1 Text View. I'm using the Image Views for the backgrounds and the Text view for the text. When I click the button, the text changes and the background changes, but I want the background to fill the entire screen and be scaled correctly (constant aspect ratio).

Any ideas on how to do this?

Thanks!

Use FILL_PARENT.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding this question correctly, but if I am, I recomend trying this:
Instead of using the image view for the background, tryjust setting the background of your root parent (probobaly a linear/relative layout) and use the setBackground() method. Ex
LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.LinearLayout01)
layout.setBackground(image)
Let me know if u need more help

Hi sam, im new to this forum, i need some help, i tried using your background coding but i kept gettin lots of errors.

"(probobaly a linear/relative layout) and use the setBackground() method. Ex

I have to create an application for customers purchasing petrol on android and want to also ask do you know how i can use a marquee code to move a gallery or set of images, because i searched throug the internet but can only find marquees which move buttons or text across.

umm, I'm pretty sure there are gallery examples on developer.android.com, I'd check that out, I think what you're asking and what this question is are two completely different topics
