[android-developers] How does Android build background?

In my tabhost, I define a setBackgroundDrawable with a png resource that's 2px wide and 50px high. Android fills the background with this resource. The question I have: Does Android replicate the resource to fill the width of the screen or does it stretch it? The png is not 9-patch. Thanks Amiz

It doesn't replicate it, it simply stretches it at runtime. You can simply load a BitmapDrawable from your resource and set the gravity so that it doesn't stretch. On Wed, Nov 11, 2009 at 5:11 AM, Alain aarn...@gmail.com wrote: In my tabhost, I define a setBackgroundDrawable with a png resource
