Android Java Course, Stage 3, "Pretty Little Things" - Problem with png loading to Eclipse

Have downloaded the png image and copied to the relevant CrystalBall/Res/Drawables directory. But when I go to drag it as an ImageView into the graphical layout of the activity_main xml file, I get an error. It tells me it failed to convert it into a drawable and the image does not show up as it does in the video. There is a yellow warning triangle which tells me that I am missing contentDescription attribute on image but I do not think this is the problem as that seems to be a warning rather than a fata error. I am using Eclipse Kepler on a Windows 8 PC. Anyone else come across this? Regards Alistair

Answered! I changed the name of the file and for some reason this solved the issue. Not sure how or why but it works now and allows me to continue. Regards Alistair
