You can run it from main.xml like so:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >
	<View android:id="@+id/View01" 
	    android:background="@layout/color" 
	    android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
            android:layout_height="176dp">
	</View>
</LinearLayout>

In my case color.xml was in the layout folder, not in drawable where such things are typically put. Also the layout specification could have been set to "fill_parent" instead and taken the whole screen. This may not be the best solution. I would be interested in seeing others. Maybe I will find them later in the book.
