Make bitmap drawable tile in x but stretch in y

Question

I have an image which I\'m using as a background for a RelativeLayout. The image needs to be tiled horizontally to make a pattern.

I\'m able to get the image to tile ho

Answer 1

I feel it is straight forward:(This code will tile in Y and repeat in x)

In your onWindowFoucsChanged you call:

 public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
        Drawable d = getRepeatingBG(this, R.drawable.image_that_you_want_to_repeat);
        body_view.setBackgroundDrawable(d);

    }

private Drawable getRepeatingBG(Activity activity, int center)
    {   

        DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics();
        activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm);

        BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        options.inScaled=true;

        Bitmap center_bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(activity.getResources(), center, options);
        center_bmp.setDensity(Bitmap.DENSITY_NONE);
        center_bmp=Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(center_bmp, dm.widthPixels , center_bmp.getHeight(), true);

        BitmapDrawable center_drawable = new BitmapDrawable(activity.getResources(),center_bmp);
//change here setTileModeY to setTileModeX if you want to repear in X
        center_drawable.setTileModeY(Shader.TileMode.REPEAT);

        return center_drawable;
    }
