Is it possible to repeat a drawable in an ImageView? I manage to repeat my drawable as a divider in a ListView, but not as an ImageView. Here is my repeated image definition:

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

Thanks Markus

Yes it's possible. You just need to specify the scale type of the ImageView. Without it the <bitmap> is just scaled.

<ImageView
    ...
    android:scaleType="fitXY"
    ...
/>
