nine-patch

I'm using quite a large amount of NinePatchDrawables in the app views. The underlying Bitmaps are cached, so there is no memory issue. While preparing/drawing the screen, the app crashes with the following log entry: 04-03 19:37:42.651: A/libc(4064): Fatal signal 11 (SIGSEGV), code 2, fault addr 0x9e985ff8 in tid 4093 (RenderThread) The issue just popped up with the latest Android 5.1 builds (LMY47D, LMY47E, LMY47I). The same views with the same graphics worked well on earlier Android Versions up to 5.0.2 (LRX22C). I'm getting the issue on the Nexus 6, so far I don't had the chance to test it

According to the Android documentation , we know that the left and top black line define the stretchable area, and the bottom and right line define the content area. It's easy to understand, but I found the below image named textfield_activated_holo_dark.9.png from android-17 framework. What is the purpose of the red colors in the lower-left, lower-right and top-right corners? Abhishek Sabbarwal I believe this thread has some discussion on the same topic. This has got something to do with setting layout bounds and I believe its not documented yet. It's too support layout bounds. See https:/

I just encountered with a problem that I don't know how to solve. It looks silly but I cannot find a way to fix it. I have a form in android with several EditText and when you submit the form it checks those EditText and if they have wrong data I change the EditText to red border (applying a ninepatch image). myEditText.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.edittext_red); The problem is, I want to restore android's default style when the user change the EditText, but I don't know how to do it. if I do: myEditText.setBackgroundResource(0); It will just remove everything and that's not what I want.

What is the best way to set background for some view? For example 2 variants of backround: background with gradient, rounded corners and border background with just one color and rounded corners So which of variants would be better, nine-patch or drawable xml resource? My guess is, NinePatch would be slightly faster in most cases. Here's what I found. GradientDrawable (the one used for rects in xml) uses this code to call through to Canvas which in turn uses native call leading to SkCanvas , SkDraw and eventually SkScan and SkBlitter . On the other hand, NinePatch 's draw() has almost zero

I am successfully building a 9patch drawable at runtime on Android 3.0+ using the excellent gist provided by Brian Griffey (found here ). Essentially I load the raw (no patches) graphic file from the network and the filename contains the cap insets that I need to use in order to scale the image accordingly. I then use these values with the class found above and apply the image as a background to a variety of elements (such as TextView , ImageButton , Button , ViewGroup , etc). This works perfectly as you can see here: However, running the same code on Android 2.3.x yields the result: I've

This is the first time i use nine-patch image on my android app. It so stupit. When I preview on eclipse layout editor, it work. But when I build the application on real device (HTC Inspire 4g, HTC Explorer,...) it's not. <LinearLayout android:layout_width="0dip" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_margin="5dp" android:layout_weight="1" android:background="@drawable/shadow_border" android:gravity="center" android:padding="0dip" > <TextView android:id="@+id/itemdetail_textview_price" style="@style/textview_nomalBold" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap

In my application, I want to set bubbles to a text view, in the text view I add the setBackgroundResource() as you can see in the code. With this code i'm getting an image like this: I want a bubble shape image like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle" > <solid android:color="#EDF5E4" /> <corners android:bottomLeftRadius="@dimen/corner_radius" android:bottomRightRadius="@dimen/corner_radius" android:topLeftRadius="@dimen/corner_radius" id:topRightRadius="@dimen/corner_radius" /> Please tell me
