Adding an Image --Android dev-- Crystal Ball project

There is a known issue on this video, and after following the instructions to import the project files, I am stuck. The teacher's notes send me to a video for a different project to show me how to import the files. Some more in depth instructions on how to import the files specific to this project would be awesome!

You are trying to add the background image to the Crystall Ball Project?

if yes,

it is simple.

add this to the activity.xml you want to add a background image. PS.: dont forget to drag and drop the image to the drawable file on res directory.

         android:background="@drawable/your_image_name"

the code below goes inside of the relative layout where you have something like these: EXample: xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:gravity="fill"
