高级android布局：从图层列表中创建ListView分隔符

Question

Refer to the image below to understand what I'm trying to do. It should be obvious from the image provided. It seems like this should be pretty simple.

The question is, why is the tiled middle section offset by an inconsistent amount for each list entry?

product_list.xml

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <ListView android:id="@+id/android:list"
              android:layout_width="wrap_content"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent"
              android:divider="@drawable/product_list_divider"
              android:background="@drawable/main_background_bitmap"/>
    <TextView android:id="@+id/android:empty"
              android:layout_width="wrap_content"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:text="No results."/>
</LinearLayout>

product_list_divider.xml

<layer-list
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <item>
        <bitmap
            android:src="@drawable/shelf_middle"
            android:tileMode="repeat"/>
    </item>
    <item>
        <bitmap
            android:src="@drawable/shelf_left"
            android:gravity="left"/>
    </item>
    <item>
        <bitmap
            android:src="@drawable/shelf_right"
            android:gravity="right"/>
    </item>
</layer-list>

Answer 1

I ended up abandoning the repeat tile mode and did it like this instead:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <item>
        <bitmap
            android:src="@drawable/bg"
            android:tileMode="repeat" />
    </item>
    <item>
        <bitmap
            android:src="@drawable/shelf_shine"/>
    </item>
    <item>
        <bitmap
            android:src="@drawable/shelf_middle_stretch"
            android:gravity="bottom|fill_horizontal"/>
    </item>
    <item>
        <bitmap
            android:src="@drawable/shelf_side_left"
            android:gravity="left|bottom"/>
    </item>
    <item>
        <bitmap
            android:src="@drawable/shelf_side_right"
            android:gravity="right|bottom"/>
    </item>
    <item>
        <bitmap
            android:src="@drawable/shelf_left"
            android:gravity="left|bottom"/>
    </item>
    <item>
        <bitmap
            android:src="@drawable/shelf_right"
            android:gravity="right|bottom"/>
    </item>
</layer-list>
