Android Tile Bitmap

I'm trying to load a bitmap in Android which I want to tile. I'm currently using the following in my view to display a bitmap:

canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, srcRect, destRect, null)

I essentially want to use this bitmap as a background image in my app and would like to repeat the bitmap in both the X and Y directions.

I've seen the TileMode.REPEAT constant for the BitmapShader class but i am not sure if this is to be used for repeating the actual bitmap or is used for applying a filter to the bitmap.

Figured out the code version:

  BitmapDrawable TileMe = new BitmapDrawable(MyBitmap);
  TileMe.setTileModeX(Shader.TileMode.REPEAT);
  TileMe.setTileModeY(Shader.TileMode.REPEAT);

  ImageView Item = new ImageView(this);
  Item.setBackgroundDrawable(TileMe);

Then if you have a drawable to tile, this can be used instead to make the BitmapDrawable:

  BitmapDrawable TileMe = new BitmapDrawable(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.tile));
