How do i set background image with picasso in code

According to that, Use callback of Picasso

Picasso.with(getActivity()).load(R.drawable.table_background).into(new Target(){

    @Override
    public void onBitmapLoaded(Bitmap bitmap, LoadedFrom from) {
       mainLayout.setBackground(new BitmapDrawable(context.getResources(), bitmap));
    }

    @Override
    public void onBitmapFailed(final Drawable errorDrawable) {
        Log.d("TAG", "FAILED");
    }

    @Override
    public void onPrepareLoad(final Drawable placeHolderDrawable) {
        Log.d("TAG", "Prepare Load");
    }      
})
