I asked this question in chat rooms tagged with Android but it turns out they didn't encounter this before, and I cannot find specific question either on Google so I think this is a valid point to post this as a question here.
The problem is, if I refer to an XML file format as android:background="@drawable/bg", I got compilation error saying:
No resource found that matches the given name (at 'background' with value '@drawable/bg').
But if I put some file like for e.g ".png" or ".jpg", it compiles well. Sounds like it does not recognize the file as a valid drawable? Either if I put that file in other location, its just don't compile.
This is the bg.xml contains:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="2dp" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#fff" />
</shape>
What am I doing wrong?
Edit:
I've create the "res" and "drawable" folders by myself because it's not default in this kind of environment.
Set the Build Action property of item bg.xml to DrawableResource.
