rotate and repeat image using xml

I want to set background image with rotation and repeating the background image.

For repeating 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:src="@drawable/border"
android:tileMode="repeat" />

For rotation 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
    android:fromDegrees="90"
    android:toDegrees="90"
    android:pivotX="50%"
    android:pivotY="50%"
    android:drawable="@drawable/border">

Now I want to combine this code in one drawable and want to use as background

I'm trying like this but not working 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
     android:tileMode="repeat" >

   <rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
      android:fromDegrees="90"
      android:toDegrees="90"
      android:pivotX="50%"
      android:pivotY="50%"
      android:drawable="@drawable/border">
</rotate>

</bitmap>

I would suggest you to use a custom view. I also tried that for my animated background. Just use thread, handler and canvas.scale() method for rotating the view background. And one thing i wanna ask. Whats the need of setting as background? You can set the rotating drawable as a background view and do the other things on the view above with transparent background.
