You don’t need to set a big size image as the background of pages if the image is texture or uniform color.

How to tile small texture image onto big page/area as its background?

First, define drawable xml in res/drawable,

bg_texture_image.xml:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>

<bitmap xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android”

      android:src=”@drawable/bg_image”

      android:tileMode=”repeat” />

Second, use it as the background,
