Programmatically Changing a XML file?

I have a XML file that I set up to tell the app what image to use as the splash screen. However, I have multiple images that can be used depending on the screen size. I have the following code to determine the screen size:

Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay(); 
int width = display.getWidth();
int height = display.getHeight();

Note: I'm using getWidth and getHeight because my app is using API 7. I do know that they were deprecated later on.

Anyways, here is what I have in my XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="Theme.Splash" parent="android:Theme">
    <item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/splash_screen</item>
    <item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>
</resources>

Basically, what I want to be able to do is be able to programmatically change splash_screen to whatever the name of my file is depending on the screen size. Any ideas how I can change the XML file from my code?

Thanks in advance for any help given.

If this is in your resources, you CANNOT modify your resources at run time. Only thing you can do is programatically build your layout/styles.

You don't have to do it manually. Resource qualifiers do this for you, so you can always refer to a resource by a single name. Check the information and examples available at http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html.
