title: Increasing size of bitmap image in splash screen
body: <p>I am creating a splash screen for android using drawable xml, and my 
  back_splash.xml looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
  
      &lt;item
      android:drawable="@android:color/white"/&gt;
  
  
      &lt;item&gt;
          &lt;bitmap android:gravity="center" android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"/&gt;
      &lt;/item&gt;
  
  &lt;/layer-list&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now the Issue is if I keep <code>android:gravity="center"</code>  in bitmap, it makes my image too small for all devices.
  If I keep this property in item it makes image ok for small phones but make it horrible for tabs.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried everything, like using mimap (where I have all sizes of image) , using drawable where I have kept different sizes of nine patch image, but nothing seems to make the image look good. 
  (I have created ninepatch image using an online tool)</p>
  
  <p>Now as keeping android:gravity="center" makes it just small (not blur), I want to know if I can increase this image size a bit more, using any work around?
  I have wasted a lot of time to make it work, but nothing useful.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you all in advance</p>
