[android help] Change background of linear layout in android frameworks

If you want to set through xml, then you need to do as below:

android:background="@android:color/white"

in case if you decide to use android's default color code or if you have colors specified in colors.xml, then use

android:background="@colors/white"

If you want to do programmatically, then do:

linearlayout.setBackgroundColor(Color.WHITE);

.
