Android tiled background[转]

The Android framework allow to create a drawable that wraps a bitmap and can be tiled, stretched, or aligned. First of all, we need the background pattern to use as background tile. The pattern can be any drawable located in the drawable directory of the application, for example :

Then we need to create the drawable that wraps our pattern. BitmapDrawable can be defined in an XML file with the <bitmap> element :

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

The tileMode attribute defines the way the pattern is repeated :

disabled

Do not tile the bitmap. This is the default value.

clamp

Replicates the edge color.

repeat

Repeats the bitmap in both direction.

mirror

Repeats the shader’s image horizontally and vertically, alternating mirror images so that adjacent images always seam.
