I followed everything to the letter, error.

I followed everything, but when I changed the order of views (dragged img to the top) my app crashes, it only works when it is the last one

if you want to add a background image, 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"
