Apps Android Rounded Corner Layout with Filled Tiled Image

[New Guy5]

I'm hoping there is an xml solution to this... I am trying to create a layout that has rounded corners and then filling that layout with an image (tiled, repeat). So basically I have a LinearLayout that has a drawble layered-list assigned to the background. Here is the test layout (xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
androidrientation="vertical" >

<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/rate_buttons"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
androidrientation="horizontal"
androidadding="0dp"
android:background="@drawable/test_rounded">
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

here is the test_rounded drawable xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item ><bitmap android:src="@drawable/my_tiled_image" android:tileMode="repeat"/></item>
<item >
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<stroke android:width="3dip" android:color="#B1BCBE" />
<corners android:radius="20dip"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

The image is overflowing at the corners of the shape/layout border. I get the following

corners are overflowed here

As you can see the corners are overflowed. I heard about modifying the image part (blue pattern) in code but I have issues with that since I do modify it and animate it along the way. SO, if its at all possible to just fill in the layout with that image, please let me know. Thank you all for your help.

Views in Android are rectangular, so I'd expect this behavior, regardless of how you stroke the outline of the view.

Apparently it -is- possible to hook the OnDraw() method of the Canvas and actually clip the area based on a path. Check it:
