new mobile feature request - tiled background

I don't know what the process is for suggesting new features, so I'm posting it here...

I think that a lot of developers could benefit from the ability to set the background of a window or view to a tiled pattern. In tablet apps, having views that change width and height will be more common; creating a background image for every conceivable window size is not possible.

On the iphone, it looks like it would only take a few lines of code like this:

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"pattern.png"];
myView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:image];
There should be something similar for Android.

  • Is this something that can be done with a custom module? I'm looking up what that entails, but has anyone done one that might offer some insight?
