You will have to resize your background image same the size of your listview row.
` public static Bitmap resizeBitmap(Bitmap photo, float x, float y) {
try {
// get current bitmap width and height
int width = photo.getWidth();
int height = photo.getHeight();
// determine how much to scale
float scaleWidth = x / width;
float scaleHeight = y / height;
// create the matrix for the manipulation
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
// resize the bitmap
matrix.postScale(scaleWidth, scaleHeight);
// recreate the new bitmap
Bitmap resizebitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(photo, 0, 0, width,
height, matrix, false);
return resizebitmap;
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (OutOfMemoryError e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.gc();
}
return null;
