How to display background image in text view

can any开发者_开发技巧body tell how to display background image in a TextView in android?

If you are working with xmls you can add it as Praveen Chandrasekaran said doing:

android:background="@drawable/myResouce"

Before that you have to put your image file inside the res/drawable folder.

You can also change it from the code doing:

  mTextView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.myResouce);

add a android:background="@drawable/imagefile" attribute on your TextView tag. Before that you have to put your image file inside the res/drawable folder.

android:background="@drawable/mark"

Also review.... your background image should be a 9.png and add some paddings for your content

           android:layout_marginLeft="10dp" android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
            android:layout_height="400dp" android:background="@drawable/mark"
            android:paddingTop="5dp" android:paddingBottom="5dp" android:paddingLeft=
