Android windowBackground and Title hiding

To create a window without a window title, and including a custom window background - in this case an image:

1. Create a style in your strings.xml file under the res\values folder in your project:
<style name="hp67Background" parent="android:Theme">
<item name="android:windowBackground">@drawable/hp67</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
</style>

This style inherits from the android theme via the "parent" attribute. The background can be any drawable type, including, if desired a color code - such as #ff0000. In this case, I'm using a png image (hp67.png) saved under the res\drawable folder.

The android:windowNoTitle setting is set to true.

2. Edit your manifest XML file to include the style as a theme on the tag:

<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/hp67Background">

This should do the trick!
