Question

i’ve used the following code to repeat the image in the background but its not working can any one help?

Layout.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/grass_bg"
    >

grass_bg.xml in drawable looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:src="@drawable/grass_small"
        android:tileMode="repeat"/>

its showing the same small image. its not repeating…

Answer 1

Create a copy of grass_bg.xml for each time you use it (ie grass_bg_2.xml). This worked for me to assure the tileMode setting was not lost when the same background is used repeatedly.
