title: tile image along right side of activity
body: <p>Is there a way for me to tile an image along the right side of an activity view? The image i have is small and square. </p>
  
  <p>i know you can tile the entire activity view like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
      &lt;bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
          android:src="@drawable/actual_pattern_image"
          android:tileMode="repeat" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but is there a way to restrain it? to make it just tile one image under the other along the right side?</p>
  
  <p>i know i can do something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
  android:layout_marginBottom="5dip"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and just keep increasing the margin as i add another imageView below. my only fear with this approach is when scoll-bars come into picture. this is clearly a very static approach... </p>
  
  <p>just a heads up - very new to android development... </p>
