Hello.
Iam using a small image and repeats it as a background in my app,
this
is how i do it.

bgrepeat.png
backgroundrepeat.xml


i have them in the drawable folder.


This is how the .xml look like.


<bitmap
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:src="@drawable/bgrepeat"
    android:tileMode="repeat"
    android:dither="true"
/>


And i just call in in xml like this.
android:background="@drawable/backgroundrepeat"


If i run this on my Galaxy S2 then the background repeats and looks
good, but if i try on a tablet (galaxy 8.9) then it does not repeat
it
just zooms the bgrepeat.png file, and same result in emulator on my
pc.

I need to know that this will work on most devices, and why it doesent
work on every device.. bug?
Any idees?

I'm not sure if this is your issue, but I had a slight glitch on a tablet: the tablet had a user controlled scaling thing to 'help' it better run phone games.  My app automatically detected the screen size and scaled itself accordingly, but if the tablet's scaler was turned on then it messed it up. The user report was:

---
Had a slight issue with the background image not filling the screen but was easily resolved by changing settings from "stretch to fit" to "zoom to fit"
---

Same issue?
