Button with dashed outline - 9patch with tileMode="repeat"?

Question

I am having trying to accomplish this kind of a design. It needs to stretch to accomodate difference screens but rather then stretching it should repeat the pattern, I think the picture is pretty self-explanatory. 9patch only wont cut it as it only stretches.

Thanks for your time

Answer 1

The simplest method to do what you want would be to use a shape drawable with the stroke element set on it to obtain that dash pattern.

You may be able to also do it with a layer-list drawable.
