String types not allowed (at 'background' with value )

I'm having trouble adding a image to my background, I saw a similar question earlier and none the answers helped me. Ive tried everything "@drawables/myimagename", "myimagename.png", and "myimagename" none of these things seem to work. I even tried to put in the path of the picture, and still nothing.

you must want that folder name drawable and you also call it like

android:background="@drawable/myimagename"

and the name myimagename must be typed like in the file name in the folder

You need to use this

@drawable/myimagename

instead of 

@drawables/myimagename

Make sure you have the image named myimagename in the drawable folder of your application

Ive tried everything "@drawables/myimagename"

To set image from drawable,drawable-mdpi,drawable-hdpi,... folder's use @drawable/[image_name] instead of @drawables :

android:background="@drawable/myimagename"

You cannot use @drawables/, use @drawable/

android:background="@drawable/myimagename"
