Using custom image for friend with no image

I am attempting to use a different image than the one Ben uses in the videos. I used that image initially, but my color scheme is different so I wanted to use a different one. When changing the image in user_item.xml, it shows up in the preview, but the purple image still shows up when I run the program. Any help would be appreciated!

Hey Chad,

Are you implementing a custom adapter if so I would have a look in there to see if you are updating the image view as this may override the image your specify in your layout xml.
