I've created a 9patch for a background area and it seems to be stretching areas I didn't mark to be stretched. I have it so that vertically it should stretch 1 pixel from the middle, but it's still stretching the top and bottom borders. Here's my 9patch, placed in the drawable
folder:
And here's the resulting image when placed as the background
attribute for a layout:
Why is it stretching the top and bottom borders? I want these to stay 2 pixels on the top and 4 pixels on the bottom, but its stretching.
You can download the image here if you want to try this out. Rename it so it has a .9.png extension, place it as the background
in a View
about 100dp tall, take a screenshot, then zoom in and you can see what I'm seeing.
It's being scaled. If you place it in res/drawable
, it's going to scale up 1.5x on HDPI devices, and 2x on XHDPI devices (drawables there are assumed to be MDPI). You can either place it in res/drawable-nodpi
to keep it from scaling, or make larger versions if desired and place them in res/drawable-hdpi
/res/drawable-xhdpi
folders.
