General :: Droid 4 Background Image Always Enlarged
Jan 28, 2013
I had the HTC Desire Z, so, I think it's not related to Droid 4, but it's Android specific.
However, whenever I try to set a background image, this one is always enlarged, coming out the edges, no matter what its size is, while I expect it to fit the display, even deformed, just as when I set a desktop image on my PC. That's what happened for example with my old Nokia N82: the image was scaled to fit the display.
I even tried to set an image of the exact resolution of the display (540 x 960), but it was always enlarged. So, is actually there a way to put a background image so that if fits the display and is not enlarged?

I am using the stock messaging program on my new Droid2. When I receive a picture message and I click on the picture to enlarge it. It only stays big for a few seconds and then minimizes again. How do I keep it large? Also, How do I save the pictures? I can't seem to save the pictures anywhere.

Any way to get the Bing daily background as my Android phone's background?
(on an automated daily basis without user intervention)
There are a lot of wallpaper switching apps, but none of them link to Bing's daily image.
If there were an app that would set the wallpaper from a URL [URL] ....... on a daily basis, then I could scrape the Bing image and host it for retrieval.
If I could even just find a wallpaper app that switches on a daily RSS feed, I could create my own feed to expose Bing's daily image.

My goal is to develop a GUI application on top of a background image with buttons in specific places on the image. The first step is to display the background.
The image can be displayed with resources and is described in several FAQs including this one:
how-to-add-background-image-to-activity
It compiles and runs without errors, but the background is black. Here is the main.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/rootRL" 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">
</RelativeLayout>
The image has been in png, 9.png, and jpg format with basenames of 'main' and 'background'. It builds but does not display. Making clean and recompiling does not help.
This behavior occurs on both the emulator and on hardware -- an Atmel AT91SAM9M10-G45-EK. The SDK version is 2.0.1.

I'm battling with extending a TextView for my Android app. I'd like to create "bubbles" to display text messages in a conversation, similar to the native iPhone SMS conversations.
Is there a way to implement the resizing of a background image without just stretching it? I'd like to have a single background image that keeps it's corners but get stretched only in defined areas. I think this should be possible because I've seen it in a SMS app, but I wonder how to implement that.

It seems background images are automatically shrunk in Android, for example, I use setBackgroundDrawable to set background of a view code...
Instead of shrinking, I want the image to be cropped to fit the screen size. How to do it?

I have a widget layout xml which sets the src to the delivered android widget 4x1 frame image.Here is the widget layout code...
@drawable/widgetinitial holds the widgetinitial.png image example 4x1 at developer.android.com (AppWidget design guidelines).(4x1_Widget_Frame_Portrait.psd) What I am trying to do is display an image inside the delivered frame instead what happens is the frame image goes away and only the image I am trying to display shows up. How can I display the image inside the bounding box or the background?
Another question - I think I saw in a couple of forums AbsoluteLayout is a deprecated feature for Android 2.1 and above. Is that correct? and does using AbsoluteLayout throws any force close or other exceptions?

Can you please tell me how can I place an background image to a the left upper corner of TextView in android? I would like the image not to be scaled by android.
I have tried
Resources res = getResources();
setCompoundDrawables(res.getDrawable(R.drawable.icon48x48_1), null, null, null);
Nothing is shown.
And I have tried
setBackground(R.drawable.icon48x48_1);
But it stretches the image.

I have a background image about 100 x 100 that I want to center in an Android app. Is there a way to do this?
I'm thinking it would greatly help with orientation changes for simple apps.

I have an image that I want to place on the background on my activity. For the G1 I would use a background of 320x480 but with the nexus 1 the resolution is almost double that. Should I just place the large image and make the smaller phones size down? I am trying to keep the size of my package down as much as possible.

I created a custom background image and wanted to use it as the background for a layout that has height of wrap_content. However, the total height of the contents of within that layout are much less than the height of the background image.
When I set it as the background in XML via android:background="@drawable/image", I noticed that it displays the entire height of the image, although the height of the actual contents are much shorter.

I'm trying to set my root LinearLayout element (which is set to fill_parent in both dimensions) to have a background image which is always located in the lower left corner of the screen no matter the orientation of the device. It would be excellent if there were some way to set the background image position such as that which you can do with css using "background-position: left bottom;" but I'm not seeing a way to achieve this in Android. Is there a way to do this?

I have a linear layout which has a background image (a 9 patched png file). How can I add padding to left and right so that the background image does not take up the whole width? I have tried 'android:paddingLeft' and 'android:paddingRight', but that does not change anything.
CODE:.....
The whole background still stretches the whole screen width.

I snatch this pic from the web and want to use it as a background. But since its a rather close up shot, when applying to wallpaper we are forced with this crop thingy. Its sucks cause it will not let me select the entire picture which results in a zoomed in image on the background instead of a zoomed out entire pic.
Is there a way around this? I tried making the pic smaller but when it hits the N1 the cropping portion is the same.
