	 * 
	 * <p>
	 * Usage in XML:
	 * 
	 * <p>
	 * <code>
	 * &lt;layer-list&gt;
	 * &lt;item android:id="@+id/textureRepeat"&gt;
	 *   &lt;bitmap
	 *       android:src="@drawable/some_texture"

	 *

	 * <p>
	 * This is a workaround for http://b.android.com/15340, based on
	 * http://stackoverflow.com/a/5852198/132047
	 * 
	 * <p>
	 * Repeated bitmap drawables have bugs pre Android 4.0 in some cases, which
	 * causes the texture to stretch instead of repeat.
	 * 
	 * <p>
	 * This fix doesn't work with {@link StateListDrawable}s. For such
	 * drawables, you'll need manual addition of the states that hold texture
