Hi all,
In my activity i have simple grey gradient
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
        android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient android:startColor="#323232" android:endColor="#909090"
                android:angle="270" />
</shape>

and i use as background of some view. The problem is that the gradient
looks pretty banding. After searching i found some solutions and posts
about this problem but none of them works the way i want.

The only i could smooth the gradient on htc tatoo was to set
getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DITHER) which
dithers the whole window not only the gradient which is not what i
want. Setting android:dither="true" and calling from Java
GradientDrawable.setDither(true) has no effect. On nexus one
getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.RGBA_8888) but on devices that don't
have 8-bits per color i have to set FLAG_DITHER so what is the correct
way to smooth gradient.
