How to set include background color in android

Question

How to set background color on an include tag in Android? This does not work:

 <include
 android:id="@+id/list_item_section_text"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="match_parent"
 layout="@android:layout/preference_category"
 android:background="%MY_BACKGROUND%"/>

If you are not "too-deep-view-tree-paranoia" type of guy, you can wrap your include in FrameLayout:

<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/list_item_section_text"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="%YOUR_BACKGROUND%">

        <include layout="@android:layout/preference_category"/>

</FrameLayout>

EDIT: Of course, don't forget to remove android:background from your preference_category.xml layout first.
