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

• Step 3: Now include this bitmap in the activity layout background attribute,

  <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
