make android height and width of LinearLayout into wrap_content using this code in .xml file

android:layout_height="wrap_content"  
android:layout_width="wrap_content"

to set background to the image use code 

android:background="@drawable/image"

Now place the image in the drawable file

Jojo's solution might work if the content of Linear layout is smaller than image height. if i add two or edit text automatically the image starts stretching. if u still want to avoid and make the imageview at background use the below xml layout.

<RelativeLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent">
    <ImageButton android:id="@+id/imageButton1" android:src="@drawable/icon" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="@null"></ImageButton>
    <Button android:text="Button" android:id="@+id/button1" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="100px"></Button>
</RelativeLayout>

Because only image button has the src options that remains constant to width and height of image.

Other solution is to define your image in a XML and refer to this XML on your background as explained here : Background Image Placement
Like that you can control your image (background) layout
