background on emulator being stretched
<p>I have a background on my android app with is a png image.  It is 800 x 480 px in size.
It is being stretched width wise and hence does not look as I intend it to.  As the image is actually the background of the app and not just an imageView I was unable to use the android:scaleType="centerCrop" to get the image to scale equally.  </p>

<p>I need the image to fill the background equally.</p>

<p>I have also tried using NinePatch drawable but the results were not good at all on this - The image became blurred or was OK when being stretched vertically but not width wise.</p>

<p><img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/x5BLx.png" alt="before image">
<img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/y3UEF.png" alt="after image as seen on emulator"></p>

<p>Here is my XML code:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
&lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:background="@drawable/menu"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" 
</code></pre>

<p>Is there any other command I can use to get the background to display correctly?</p>
