AS app emulator crashing rendering problems

Question

I am building an app for android, and so far things are going well. The app runs fine in the emulator, until I decided to use a picture from the web, download it as .png and use it as my background image in the login screen.

In the xml code I simply, in the linearLayout set the background like this:

android:background="@drawable/login"

Which should be completely fine(login is the login.png file).

There is an error message saying

Rendering problems
-Paint.setShadowLayer is not supported

When I launch the app, the emulator starts and tries to start the app, however it immidiately quits and says "unfortunately, "appname" has stopped".

So the problem is the background image, but what can it be? Is using an image just like this directly a very naive method?

Thanks in advance! Here is an image of the login activity before launching

Answer 1

this is not an error it just tell you that the preview of code will not be the same as output

the problem must be something else,it could be the resolution of the image ,try to get the error from the logcat while testing the app
