Apps splash.xml and added image not at all recognized?

[Lanuk]

Hey guys, Im new to android and today tried to create a splash screen. I simply right clicked the layout folder, hit new, hit "other", and made a file called "splash.xml" and inside used this code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="(Commented out due to link)"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" 
    android:background="@drawable/blackbg">    
    
    <TextView
    	android:layout_width="match_parent"
    	android:layout_height="match_parent"
    	android:orientation="vertical" 
    	android:text="@string/test"/>"
    
</LinearLayout>

I dragged and dropped my image into the drawable-hdpi folder. I am using eclipse. There are no errors, but nothing in my app changes at all. There is no screen with my image or text even for a split second. Does anyone know how to fix this?
