How about using an ImageView with a centerCrop? We do this with an
original image sized at 3:2 aspect. The image is cropped on 16:9
devices but maintains aspect ratio. Be sure to test so you know
nothing important has been cropped out. As mentioned above 16:9 is a
pretty safe bet for a limit on screen pixel ratio.
<ImageView
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:src="@drawable/my_background"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
/>
