I’m trying to make an application with repeatable background in a listview, but i have some trouble with whitespace between the repeatable image. Why is this? And how can I fix this?

Is there another way to create repeatable background?

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        View row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.event_list, parent, false);
        List<Events> r = getEvent();
        Events e = r.get(position);

        LoaderImageView image = (LoaderImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
        TextView tittel = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
        TextView ingress = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.textView2);

        tittel.setText(e.getEventName().toString());
        ingress.setText(e.getIngress().toString());
        image.setImageDrawable(e.getThumbnail().toString());



        Resources res = getResources();
        BitmapDrawable background = (BitmapDrawable) res.getDrawable(R.drawable.almanakk_bg);
        background.setTileModeY(TileMode.REPEAT);

        row.setBackgroundDrawable(background);




        return row;
    }
