Solved my problem by renaming images...

Don't use dash (-) and don't start your image name with a number.

Example: Image 'sunset-1' would not show in my work space, but image 'sunset_1' did. Image '11sunset' did not show, but image 'x11sunset' did.

Hope this helps.

Here the problem is with your picture name, because Resource Name must be start with character. So Rename your picture stored in drawable and start the name with character.

For example, change:

11987047_10205766000002495_8230961180700303415_n

to

x11987047_10205766000002495_8230961180700303415_n

Is 11987047_10205766000002495_8230961180700303415_n your picture's name? Try to add a suffix to it, such as .jpg. Another possible reason is that the jpg size is too big, try another smaller picture.
