NinePatchDrawable does not get padding from chunk

Question

I need help with NinePatchDrawable:

My app can download themes from the network. Almost all things work fine, except 9-Patch PNGs.

final Bitmap bubble =          


        

Answer 1

I've never seen an example where the Padding isn't included as part of the 9-patch like so:

To do this you should first construct a NinePatch and then create you're Drawable from it:

NinePatch ninePatch = new NinePatch(bitmap, chunk, srcName);
NinePatchDrawable d = new NinePatchDrawable(res, ninePatch);

However, you seem to be constructing your Drawable with an empty rectangle:

NinePatchDrawable d = new NinePatchDrawable(getResources(), bubble, chunk, new Rect(), null);

If you want to programatically specify the padding try this:

Rect paddingRectangle = new Rect(left, top, right, bottom);
NinePatchDrawable d = new NinePatchDrawable(getResources(), bubble, chunk, paddingRectangle, null);
