    }
}

why am i getting this error and what can i do to use the amount of backgrounds i want?

Answer 1

Please check the following file

temperature.xml

Make sure, it has following contents

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:background="@drawable/temperature" >

</LinearLayout>

and you have either defined a drawable resource with name temperature.xml and main.xml under res/drawable folder or you have added image resources with name temperature and main in your Android project.

Answer 2

The end of your first XML file has an extra >.
