title: Slow App with Background image
body: <p>I am making a small game for android. It is working smoothly when its working on a white background but when i want to put a background image, its becoming slower and slower. First i tried to add it as a layout background image but it was very slow, the animations were happening frame by frame. And then i decided to draw the background image as a Bitmap on canvas, the result was a little faster than the previous one but still its nothing comparing to the white background.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to scale the image many times, i did it with higher resolution, lower resolution, but the result didnt change, its still slower.</p>
  
  <p>So i wanted to ask, is there a way to add a background image to an android app without losing the smoothness and speed of the application? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
  
  <p>P.S: I am trying my application on Sony Tablet S</p>
