insert frame title and subtitle for image in android?

Question

Hi,

I want to add frame to image with title and subtitle. The thing that I want to do is as follows : There are number of styled frames available and user selects any picture from the phone memory or takes a picture from camera, now on selecting any frame that picture should be in that frame. Also below that frame there should be title and subtitle of the image.

I hope I have made it clear of what I want to know.

As for the image frame I believe the easiest way to achieve it would be to use a nine patched image as the image background. By defining the padding ans stretch areas your frame will always be correct size for any image.

For title and and subtitle you should use TextViews under the image. Just define your own layout for the whole component.
