title: Repeated Background creates whitespace - android
body: <p>My problem is a whitespace that creates itself when I put an image in the background.
  I made a new icon set. Put an image there and cropped it so it has no white border. And when I create a new image view it works it has no border around itself. But when I put it as a background on repeat it creates a whitespace.
  It looks like this:
  I cant post an image so look here: <a href="http://i.stack.imgur.com/AwNiz.gif" rel="nofollow">http://i.stack.imgur.com/AwNiz.gif</a></p>
  
  <p>I am using a relative layout and I have created a file drawable and put an xml file in it in which  I have this code:</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/im" 
        android:gravity="center"  
        android:tileMode="mirror"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried it with 3 different pictures and it always does the whitespace when put on repeated background. 
  I wanted the background to simply connect without any whitespace. 
  Thanks in advance :)</p>
  
  <p>I am using Eclipse. </p>
