How to fill ImageView background by multiplying small image not scaling?

Question

How can I fill entire ImageView background with small image (eg. 2x2px)?
I have found many answers how to stretch image to fill ImageView but I can't find one how to multiple image to fill whole ImageView.

If in ImageView it's imposible it could be any other View.

Create a bitmap xml for your image:

drawable/tiled_background.xml

<bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:src="@drawable/your_image"
        android:tileMode="repeat" />

Note the android:tileMode="repeat" line - it will make the image tile over the background. And now simple assign the xml as the background:
