    android:background="@color/darkslateblue" android:layout_height="456dp">  </ListView>

You need to provide drawable or Hex code for color to be the background. As you are getting this

Unable to resolve drawable "@color/steelblue" in attribute "background"
Unable to resolve drawable "@color/darkslateblue" in attribute "background"

So, provide an image and you can also use values like this "#FF00FF" etc

EDIT:

I have included a file my_color.xml in my values folder i.e. res/values/my_color.xml.

And my_color.xml inludes:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
  <color name="white">#ffffff</color>
  <color name="steelblue">#4863A0</color>
  <color name="darkslateblue">#2B3856</color>
</resources>

It's working for me. Try this now.
