Setting ImageView background color does work. It just does not show with
any of the current scaling options. Without "maintain aspect ratio" the image
is stretched to fit screen, so you never see the background. With "maintain
aspect ratio" the image covers the screen fully, so again you don't see the
background.
If I hard-code a scaling option like FIT_CENTER, then ImageView background
color does fill areas that are not covered by the drawable. So if the purpose
of BG color is to simply fill areas not covered by the drawable, then we can
take out LinearLayout. I thought that the purpose was to somehow cover up the
WebView in background if the device is rotated, which probably wouldn't work
anyway. Here's the test app without LinearLayout, with scale mode temporarily
set to FIT_CENTER and BG color set to RED:
