Not good. Don't write platform specific code unless you must.

The correct way to do it is to add an ImageView to the layout, anchored to all sides and set the image. You can then just copy the view between the layout files (in the different platforms).

This is a mistake in B4A, a very big mistake in B4i and a huge mistake if you are building cross platform solutions.
Many things will become very complicated.

I need to change background image when I have same conditions. For this reason I can't use Visual designer to set a fix image.

I think you can easily change the image on condition once you set the image view in designer.

If you want to set 'solid' background, you need ImageView (with lowest z-order).

But if you need a pattern (repeated image), you can set it like color.

Dim nativeObjectPattern As NativeObject
nativeObjectPattern = nativeObjectPattern.Initialize ("UIColor").RunMethod ("colorWithPatternImage:", Array (LoadBitmap (File.DirAssets, "background.jpg")))
Dim nativeObjectRoot As NativeObject = Root
nativeObjectRoot.SetField ("backgroundColor", nativeObjectPattern)

IMO, to make a code more readable, platform specific code is better to hide in own b4xlib.

It doesn't matter how you create the layout, changing images is exactly the same.
