Series: android January 30, 2012

• Pick something from Subtle Patterns, e.g. irongrip.png and drop it in your drawable-hdpi folder
• Make a BitmapDrawable, e.g. irongrip_repeating.xml

• Apply it to a View

The result:

A pretty simple way to spruce up an app, just don’t go overboard. Happy hacking!
