Hi @karumurikiran

Background image can be set and styled in multiple ways in NativeScript for example you can use CSS-properties to control your background image repeat, size and other options.
_For example:_

.my-class {
    background-image: url("res://bg_inner.jpg");
    background-repeat: repeat;
}

For more information about supported CSS-properties including ones for background image refer to https://docs.nativescript.org/ui/styling

Thanks for the reply, can we give height and width to the background image IN NS

@karumurikiran

Yes you can set again with CSS-properties like width, height, max-width and max-height
which can be set with device-independent values , absolute values or percentages.
You can also use scaleX and scaleY to control your image appearance - a nice example with parallax efffect achived is shown in our sample app Groceries

You can do so:
this.page.backgroundImage = "res://bg_login_plt4ma";
this.page.css = 'page {background-size: cover}';
