title: How to wrap content views rather than background drawable?
body: <p>How can I get a LinearLayout (or any other ViewGroup) to assume the size of it's child views rather than assuming the size of the background image?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
      android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
      android:background="@drawable/large_image300x300pix"&gt;
  
   &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/TextView01" 
      android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
      android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
      android:text="Hello world!"/&gt;
  &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The linear layout becomes the same size as the background image.
  How can I get my linear layout to assume the same size as the textview?</p>
