Tiled drawable sometimes stretches

Question

I have a ListView whose items have a tiled background. To accomplish this, I use the following drawable xml:

Answer 1

I've just had the exact same issue except with CLAMP TileMode. I have a bitmap that I want to then just stretch away at the bottom and have it set up as an XML defined BitmapDrawable and in the Graphical Preview window all looks fine, no matter what size I make the ViewImage it draws my bitmap at the top and then repeats the last pixels to fill to the end.

Launching the app on various SDK builds on the emulator and on my own phone all then produced a straight 'fill' type distortion which is completely useless.

The solution turned out to simply be to re-apply the TileMode every time I changed the size of the ImageView within my code:

((BitmapDrawable)ascender.getDrawable()).setTileModeY(TileMode.CLAMP);

Now it's all drawing fine. So yes, this looks like a bug to me.
