Background in android layout is stretched

I put a background image to my Relative layout using android:background="@drawable/rajat2", where rajat2 is an image in all the drawable folders.

It sets the background to my layout but the background comes stretched to the whole screen. I've tried putting the wallpaper through java code too but it still behaves the same!

If your drawable size is not exactly the screen size, the background will be stretched to the entire screen size. Consider creating the drawable for each type of screen size so it doesn't appear stretched.

If you don't want the image to take up the entire screen size, consider using an ImageView instead, and placing that inside your layout.
