We can create easily backgrounds with XML drawables. In this example, we will create a new resource on the folder drawables that will contain a gradient and we will apply it to one of our layouts.
<!-- my_gradient.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient
android:angle="90" android:startColor="#FFFD7E00"
android:endColor="#FFF4322A" android:type="linear" />
</shape>
<!-- your_layout.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="@drawable/my_gradient">
</LinearLayout>
