nine-patch

I have the same 9-patch images in MDPI / HDPI / xhdpi. Is there a particular reason why it will not be saved for the smallest size? The stretchable areas scale automatically when the content is greater, for example a background as a 9-patch. Example background: mdpi: hdpi: xhdpi: Many nine patches are so small that they normally don't need to be recreated for different screen sizes. In your example the corners of the background are not scaled. If you just use the same corners on all resolution they would have a different size on different resolutions. On smaller phones the corners would appear

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 = getFromTheme("bubble"); if (bubble == null) return null; final byte[] chunk = bubble.getNinePatchChunk(); if (!NinePatch.isNinePatchChunk(chunk)) return null; NinePatchDrawable d = new NinePatchDrawable(getResources(), bubble, chunk, new Rect(), null); v.setBackgroundDrawable(d); d = null; System.gc(); getFromTheme() loads the Bitmap from the SD card. The 9-Patch PNGs are already compiled, that means they include the required chunk. The way

In Draw 9-patch, everything looks fine. However , my SDK says the 9-patch png is malformed. Because I have something like an 11-patch png. Because I don't want the little grabbing area to be scaled.

ERROR: Failure processing PNG image /res/drawable-hdpi/top_complete.9.png I believe your issue is that you're splitting the content area into two pieces

I want to create a nine-patch image and use that in my App but I don't know how to create it? I've searched through the Android source code on the Web and I can't seem to find any examples of this. I need a tutorial so that I can understand the process. There's a tool included in the android sdk to create and test nine patch images: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/draw9patch.html You can also create a nine patch file using every gfx package out there ( photoshop, paint.net, ... ) using the creation guideline here: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/2d

I have a 9-patch image file which looks like this: When I use it it appears like this: What I actually wanted to achieve is the complete dot in the center repeated instead of stretched . I hope that it's possible. Muhammad Abdullah I think it's not possible using 9-Patch to make repeated patterns (only stretching certain area), perhaps you could find more about it in official documentation ... Correction: If you want the orange dots to repeat, you will not succeed using 9 patch. 9 patch can only stretch the part you told it to stretch and leave untouched, the remaining areas. There is no
