i have a simple program i'm working on and right now I have a background color set using

canvas.drawColor(int);

i'm just wondering if there is a simple way to set a background image rather then just a color. And if someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Stick a suitable image in your res/drawable folder.

Make a suitable member of your view

Code: Select all

private Drawable mBackgroundImage;        //background image bmp

& in your View's constructor

Code: Select all

mBackgroundImage = getResources().getDrawable(YOUR_IMAGE);
        this.setBackgroundDrawable(mBackgroundImage);

thanks, worked like a charm.
