Try using a theme. You can specify that in the manifest:
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/
app_name" android:theme="@style/Theme.Standard">
Then in your theme:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="Theme.Standard" parent="android:Theme.Light">
<item
name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/background</item>
</style>
</resources>
No code required at all.
An added benefit is the background comes up virtually instantly. A
downside is (I believe) the image stays in memory until the app ends.
I don't believe there is a way to unload it.
