Error: The file name must end with .xml or .png

Even though I didn't choose photothumb.db as a drawable, I get an error saying photothumb.db should end with .xml or .png

my profilesmaller image is of type png

Below are my codes

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/profilesmaller"
    tools:context="charlenebuena.guest.HomeFragment">
</FrameLayout>

Below is my Gradle Console Message

Solution

  • Android accepts only .png, .jpg, .gif and .xml files as drawable resources. If you have file .db file then put that file in assets folder.
