I have a image used for a LinearLayout background Let's say image has 20x100 px I want to make the image repeat only on x axes ... something like this in css
background-repeat:repeat-x;
The LinearLayout is kinda big (1024 x 680 px) so my image will cover the entire width but only in the top (the rest of 580 px of height will be transparent) I hope i was clear Thanks
try using android:tileMode
create background.xml in drawable folder as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:src="@drawable/bg"
android:tileMode="repeat" />
and then use it in your layout xml as:
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="@drawable/background"
android:orientation="vertical" >
