9-patch image ... how exactly?

Archived

Hello

Im trying to set the backgroundUri of a Dialog.

Documentation says:

Usually this is a 9-patch image to support dynamic resizing

Documentation doesn’t say:

How do i create this image to be recognised as a 9 patch? I tried this approach http://radleymarx.com/blog/wp-content/u … guides.png but that doesn’t work. What is the correct way? is there an example on how to do this?

Hi there,

That is a good guide - one very important fact that is mentioned but not really emphasised is that the file name MUST end in .9.png

Hope that helps.

ahhhhhh… that explains it.

Given that the guide in for Android and different languages handle these different, it’s good to clarify.

Thanks!
