Restart Eclipse (unfortunately) and the problem will go away.

(Android Studio: File --> Invalidate caches/Restart... )

This question: Android: failed to convert @drawable/picture into a drawable

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:background="@drawable/backround"
 android:layout_height="fill_parent"
 android:orientation="vertical" >  </LinearLayout>

There is no need of extensions here. just mention the name without extension

replace background.png with background

    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/backround"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>

Change 

android:background="@drawable/backround.png"

with android:background="@drawable/backround" and make sure that background image is present in your drawable folder
