Try replacing `setBackground(bg);` with `getMainManager().setBackground(bg);`. — Rupak, May 12 '12 at 17:38

Try this..

final Bitmap backgroundBitmap = Bitmap.getBitmapResource("blackbg.png");

VerticalFieldManager mainManager = new VerticalFieldManager(Manager.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL | Manager.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR )
{ 
public void paint(Graphics graphics)
{
graphics.clear();
graphics.drawBitmap(0, 0, deviceWidth, deviceHeight, backgroundBitmap, 0, 0); 
super.paint(graphics);
} 
};
