i have used a background image for a layout in a text sending app.The background image is showing properly in the layout view( in IDE ) but when i am running the app on emulator/phone the quality of the image gets degraded.here is the xml code for the layout 

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" 
android:background="@drawable/black_bg">

<TextView
android:id="@+id/phoneNum"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Enter Recipient: "
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
 android:background="#00000000"
  android:textColor="#B3FFFFFF" />

<EditText
android:id="@+id/editPhoneNum"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="phone" >
</EditText>

<TextView
android:id="@+id/SMSLabel"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Enter Your Text: "
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:background="#00000000"
  android:textColor="#B3FFFFFF"  />

<EditText
android:id="@+id/editSMS"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textMultiLine"
android:lines="5"
android:gravity="top" />

<Button
android:id="@+id/button"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Send" />

</LinearLayout>

any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If the background is only color, then better to use color codes. If not, better to use 9 patch draw-able. – Kameswari Apr 15 '14 at 12:47
  • @Kameswari you are absolutely right. – M D Apr 15 '14 at 12:48
  • If you selected a different device for view in IDE and run on different device then there may be some differences in layout view. – Rohit Apr 15 '14 at 12:57
