9 Patch Buttons in Android 4.0 are too tall


I have 9 patch buttons for my app, in Android 2.3 they are displayed properly, but when I try in my devices with Android 4.0 the buttons are too tall, and i need them like in Android 2.3.

They are in wrap_content in the layout.

Image in android 4.0: http://picturepush.com/public/12502985
My 9patch button: http://picturepush.com/public/12502990

What is the problem and how can I fix it?


Solution

  • This has nothing to do with the 9-patch and everything to do with the Button widget, themes, etc.

    Probably the easiest way to fix this is to set the Min Height attribute to 0dp in the layout designer.
