• Step 2: Create an xml under res -> drawable having bitmap tag with android:tileMode="repeat" attribute,

  
  Place the image in res folder

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
      <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,

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:layout_width="match_parent"
