Background defaults to black

I've tried setting a background image using

Titanium.UI.setBackgroundImage('background.jpg');

and

var index = Ti.UI.createWindow({
backgroundImage:'background.jpg'
})

However for some strange reason it defaults to a blackscreen. Even if I attempt to take a step back and change the color to #fff the background is still black…

    If you are trying to set the background of the main window of the app you must first get the window context by using win = Titanium.UI.currentWindow or if you are using the tabGroup win = Titanium.UI.currentTab. Then you can set the background color using win.backgroundColor = #fff or win.backgroundImage.
