            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Start Loading", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

        @Override

        }

        @Override
        public void onBitmapFailed(Drawable arg0) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Failed Loading", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });

Answer 1

Try using setBackgroundDrawable instead of setBackground

@Override
    public void onBitmapLoaded(Bitmap bitmap, LoadedFrom arg1) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        loginLayout.setBackgroundDrawable(new BitmapDrawable(getApplicationContext().getResources(), bitmap));
    }
