Make bitmap drawable tile in x but stretch in y

This method invokes creation of new bitmap but it looks like it's acrhiving your goal

        View view = findViewById(R.id.layout);
        BitmapDrawable bd = (BitmapDrawable) getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.tile);
        int width = view.getWidth();
        int intrinsicHeight = bd.getIntrinsicHeight();
        Rect bounds = new Rect(0,0,width,intrinsicHeight);
        bd.setTileModeX(TileMode.REPEAT);
        bd.setBounds(bounds);
        Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bounds.width(), bounds.height(), bd.getBitmap().getConfig());
        Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
        bd.draw(canvas);
        BitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), bitmap);
        view.setBackground(bitmapDrawable);

Please note that it only works if view was already layouted, so a method lile onWindowFocusChanged is a good place for this code.
