I am new to android. i want to set background image for my android app.i have only a small slice of the image.i want to repeat image only horizontally.i tried in two ways. 1.By using bitmap when i used bitmap image is repeating in both directions(horizontal and vertical).

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

2.Used background and tileMode in Layout file.

<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" >

In above case image in stretching horizontally.

Please help me to fix this issue.

first image is image to repeat and second image is post screen

theres an attribute named "tileMode" " When the tile mode is enabled, the bitmap is repeated. Gravity is ignored when the tile mode is enabled." – Neji May 06 '14 at 06:08

Your image height is not equal to your device height. thats why it streached. – Pratik Butani May 06 '14 at 08:05
@PratikButani,concern about height is ok. My concern is width.Even i have places horizontal repeat,it is stretching.it is not repeating. – g v s vinayak May 06 '14 at 08:40
