How do you repeat the image only vertically in android?

Is there a way to repeat an image only vertically in Android? I tried this as follows:

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

But it is repeated in both directions, and I want it to be repeated vertically, any ideas would be appreciated!

Oddly enough, there is no way in XML to do this. However, through the code you can. The following methods:

BitmapDrawable.setTileModeX(Shader.TileMode mode) BitmapDrawable.setTileModeY(Shader.TileMode mode)

should do what you need. Just go to one of the Shader.TileModelistings ( REPEAT, MIRROR, CLAMP) for any axis (y-axis to the vertical), you need to repeat the effect.

So you should be able to do something like this:

BitmapDrawable draw = (BitmapDrawable)getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.draw);
draw.setTileModeY(Shader.TileMode.REPEAT);

, : ( Y x)

onWindowFoucsChanged :

 public void onWindowFocusChanged(boolean hasFocus) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onWindowFocusChanged(hasFocus);
        Drawable d = getRepeatingBG(this, R.drawable.image_that_you_want_to_repeat);
        body_view.setBackgroundDrawable(d);

    }

private Drawable getRepeatingBG(Activity activity, int center)
    {   

        DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics();
        activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm);

        BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
        options.inScaled=true;

        Bitmap center_bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(activity.getResources(), center, options);
        center_bmp.setDensity(Bitmap.DENSITY_NONE);
        center_bmp=Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(center_bmp, dm.widthPixels , center_bmp.getHeight(), true);

        BitmapDrawable center_drawable = new BitmapDrawable(activity.getResources(),center_bmp);
//change here setTileModeY to setTileModeX if you want to repear in X
        center_drawable.setTileModeY(Shader.TileMode.REPEAT);

        return center_drawable;
    }
