Hello, Apologies for not being clear when I asked the question. Not so long ago there was a thread on this mailing list (entitled "EditText with tiled background") where the OP wanted to draw lines below an edit text to be used as a notepad and the lines were repeating. The response was the following code, but I cannot get it to work. If I place just the <bitmap> code inside background.xml then I can see the repeating bitmap. I must admit I am having some trouble unerstanding the <layer-list> element. Why do I need a list of drawables drawn from top to bottom?
I need a repeating image that repeats, not stretches, and it seems 9Slice only stretches images? Thanks for your help, John Goche main.xml: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="@drawable/background" android:gravity="center_horizontal"> <TextView android:background="@drawable/background" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/hello" /> </LinearLayout> drawables/background.xml : ------------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";> <item> <clip> <shape> <gradient android:startColor="#FF5e8ea3" android:centerColor="#FF32a0d2" android:centerY="0.1" android:endColor="#FF13729e" android:angle="270" /> </shape> </clip> </item> <item> <clip> <bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:src="@drawable/bg" android:tileMode="repeat" android:antialias="true" android:dither="false" android:filter="false" android:gravity="left" /> </clip> </item> </layer-list> On Mon, Oct 3, 2011 at 8:11 PM, rich friedel <rich.frie...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yes > > -- > On Mon, Oct 3, 2011 at 5:19 PM, John Goche <johngoch...@googlemail.com>wrote: > >> >> Hello, >> >> I would like to have the top middle part of a nine-Slice image >> repeat and the rest to remain fixed.
