I struggle to create a reading app with a UI background. The point is that my background needs to be scrollable as well as the text. So I've decided just to put in my app a large jpg with the size of my scroll (992x10901px). The app just doesn't want to start like this.
Btw, at least I see the background in the Design View if I specify the size in px. In dp it isn't displayed.
Please, give me some advice, how to proceed.
My xml:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="com.example.android.scrollingtext.MainActivity">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/article_heading"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@color/colorPrimary"
android:padding="@dimen/padding_regular"

<ScrollView
