The background color I'm setting in main.xml isn't showing when the app runs
<p>I'm setting a background color in main.xml.</p>

<p>When I preview the layout in Eclipse, the background color shows up correctly, but when the app runs on my device, the background color is default black. It seems none of my changes in main.xml are reflected when the app runs.</p>

<p>Here is my main.xml file</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;

&lt;ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/lst"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:background="@color/listViewBG"
android:divider="@drawable/divider"
/&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Here is the OnCreate in the main activity</p>

<pre><code>public class AleWorldActivity extends ListActivity
{
String classes[] = { "Movies", "Pictures" };

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter&lt;String&gt;(AleWorldActivity.this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, classes));
}
</code></pre>

<p>Any ideas?
Thanks</p>

<p>Here is my strings.xml</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
&lt;resources&gt;

&lt;string name="hello"&gt;Hello World, AleWorldActivity!&lt;/string&gt;
&lt;string name="app_name"&gt;Ale World&lt;/string&gt;
&lt;color name="listViewBG"&gt;#e101f5&lt;/color&gt;

&lt;/resources&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>Kevin</p>
