    android:background exists for all the view. As the name suggests this is what is going to be there in the background.

    android:src exists for ImageViews and its subclasses. You can think of this as the foreground. Because ImageView is a subclass of View you even have android:background for that.


    If the foreground is smaller than background, the background portion which is not covered by the foreground would be visible.
    Also, you can use transparency in the foreground in which case the background would be visible(transparently).

    one sets the background, one sets the image. You can use both to set a background to an image.

Slow Android emulator

By User
I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?
