I’m using such layout:

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/logo"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

The drawable/logo.xml:

<bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:src="@drawable/login_logo"
    android:gravity="center" />

The drawable/login_logo.png has 280 pixels width, my Galaxy Tab screen width is 600px but in launched app I see the image takes almost all screen width and it is about 500px

Where did I make mistake?

SOLVED
By setting 

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />

and putting image to drawable-hdpi

    You are setting your picture in background, and the android:background tag uses 9 patch images. So your background always stretches to the width and height of the view. Your layout width is set to fill_parent, so the image width is fill_parent too.
    The solution could be to make a 9 patch image of the png you are using with .9.png extension.
    Read here for drawing 9 patch images – developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/draw9patch.html
