Prevent layout to resize after background

Im trying to set a backgound to a RelativeLayout. The issue is that the layout is resized after the size of the image, which i don't want. I want the layout to be sized after the two textviews.

Anyway to prevent the layout to be scaled to the size of the background?

This is the xml-code

   <RelativeLayout
    android:id="@+id/hud"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@+drawable/hud_background"
    android:layout_weight="1" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/lblScore"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:text="Score: " />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/txtScore"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/lblScore"
        android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/lblScore"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/lblScore"
        android:text="00" />

</RelativeLayout>

I think all you need is to change android:layout_width="match_parent" into android:layout_width="wrap_content" for the relativeLayout, so that the sizes will be according to the textViews alone.

Why did you add android:layout_weight="1" ? is it only a part of your layout file?

if so, if it's in a vertical linearLayout, use: 

android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0px"

and if it's in a horizontal linearLayout, use:

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0px"
