splash.xml and added image not at all recognized?

Hey guys, Im new to android and today tried to create a splash screen. I simply right clicked the layout folder, hit new, hit "other", and made a file called "splash.xml" and inside used this code:

Code (Text):

1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
2. <LinearLayout xmlns:android="(Commented out due to link)"
3.     android:layout_width="match_parent"
4.     android:layout_height="match_parent"
5.     android:orientation="vertical"
6.     android:background="@drawable/blackbg">    
7.    
8.     <TextView
9.         android:layout_width="match_parent"
10.         android:layout_height="match_parent"
11.         android:orientation="vertical"
12.         android:text="@string/test"/>"
13.    
14. </LinearLayout>

I dragged and dropped my image into the drawable-hdpi folder. I am using eclipse. There are no errors, but nothing in my app changes at all. There is no screen with my image or text even for a split second. Does anyone know how to fix this?
