Right Found the answer! I am using a LinearLayout

   // Get External Storage Directory
    String sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath();
    LinearLayout li=(LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.layoutid);
    li.setBackgroundDrawable(Drawable.createFromPath(newFile(sdcard,"/s1bg.jpg").getAbsolutePath()));
