Android - Loading Drawables Without Skipping Frames

Okay, so I am using a drawable PNG (1200 x 1920, 30kb) as a background in an activity. A snippet of my XML code is shown below. My problem is the application is skipping frames and

Solution 1:

Thanks to some help from CommonsWare in the comments, I was able to figure this out. I pre-loaded the drawable in my java class in the background using AsyncTask. Here is a code example:

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        //Calling the task to be done in the background, in this case loading the drawable
        new LoadDrawable().execute();

    }

    private class LoadDrawable extends AsyncTask<Drawable, Void, Drawable> {
        @Override
        protected Drawable doInBackground(Drawable... params) {
            //Loading the drawable in the background
            final Drawable image = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.my_drawable);
            //After the drawable is loaded, onPostExecute is called
            return image;
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(Drawable loaded) {
            //Hide the progress bar
            ProgressBar progress = (ProgressBar) findViewById(R.id.progress_bar);
            progress.setVisibility(View.GONE);
            //Set the layout background with your loaded drawable
            RelativeLayout layout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.my_layout);
            layout.setBackgroundDrawable(loaded);
        }

        @Override
        protected void onPreExecute() {}

        @Override
        protected void onProgressUpdate(Void... values) {}
    }
}
