android, Tutorial 020-2, Layout,tiled background

I’m still using in my layout definition the same way to define the background, with a androidbackground parameter, with the path to your repeating background ( actually that was the point : having a consistent way for background, let them be tiled or not )

xml :

</pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<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/backrepeat"

>

<TextView

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:text="@string/hello"

/>

</LinearLayout>
<pre>

in res\drawable directory,
add back.png file
and backrepeat.xml file :

backrepeat.xml

</pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

android:src="@drawable/icon"

android:tileMode="repeat" />
<pre>
