Problems using Background Gradient in RelativeLayout

[Pete Doherty]

Hi everyone,

How would I set a RelativeLayout's background using a gradient defined in an XML file?

I'm attempting to use:

```
[:relative-layout {
                          :background org.stuff.events.R$drawable/bg_gradient
                       }]
```

However, that results in the following error: `Couldn't find method .setBackground for argument int`

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#setBackgroundResource(int)

android:background maps into setBackgroundResource(int) method. There is no :background trait in Neko, so the UI tree compiler falls back to making a setter from a property, which in your example becomes setBackground. So you should write:

[:relative-layout {:background-resource org.stuff.events.R$drawable/bg_gradient}]

OK - that makes sense.

Thanks, Alexander!
