Error inflating basic framelayout only in Android 1.5

Question

Hi, I have the following layout in XML (splashscreen.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:id="@+id/frmLayout" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
   android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <ImageView
       android:id="@+id/splash"
       android:src="@drawable/splash"
       android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
       android:scaleType="fitXY" />
</FrameLayout>

SplashScreen.java:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.splashscreen);
    // more code...
}

When I try to execute it in Android 1.5 (executes correctly in all other versions) I get these errors:

Line 5 corresponds to ImageView line. Do you have any idea why my program executes in all Android versions except 1.5?

Thanks!
