title: Set the Background Image of a SurfaceView
body: <p>Is there a way to set the background image of a SurfaceView? Does it have to be done in xml or can I do it all in Java - I've got something that looks like this in my constructor:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Drawable sky = (getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.sky));
      this.setBackgroundDrawable(sky);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it still doesn't show anything. </p>
