Answer 1

You should give us more info about the code but anyway I'm going to suggest something.

I think you're calling setBackgroundResource on a null object. So you're mistake is on the next line

ImageView dropTarget = (ImageView) v;

There probably isn't a view called "v". Maybe you should change that?

Answer 2

I believe you are looking for ImageView.setImageResource . You can also set the backgroundImage, but best practice is to use setimageResource.
