Android has a nice way of defining stretchable images called a nine-patch. See these docs for a description of the concept. The idea is to surround a png image with a 1-pixel border where you can define the stretchable areas and the padding dimensions of the image. This is absolutely brilliant and I'd like to use the idea in my iPhone...

What seems strange is that although I generated my nine patch using the draw9patch tool, the constructor for NinePatch requires an additional byte array called the "chunk" to construct the nine patch. Why isn't this simpler? What is the "chunk"? And if you have ...

Hello CocoaTouch experts! First of all, there is finally NinePatch support for the iPhone, BIG thanks to the Tortuga 22 team for that.

Is there a way to define a 9 patch drawable in an android xml file? The reason I ask, is that when you apply a scale animation to a drawable w/ a stroke on it, the stroke appears to thicken. I'd like to make the stroke stay the same size as the animation plays... ...
I'm using the following 9 patch image as the row background in a list view. (the image is right above this line, in case you missed it) I've placed this image in drawable-hdpi. When I run the app in a high density device, the grey border appears only while scrolling, and disappears when the list view is still. Why is this? The goal ...
I have a widget with an ImageView on it. I set this ImageView to a Bitmap created from a 9-patch PNG resource. The image is set correctly but is not stretched correctly - i.e. the whole image is stretched instead of just part like defined in my 9-patch PNG. If I just set the 9-patch image as a resource, it works. How can I fix this? // ...
I have a 9-patch image file which looks like this: When I use it it appears like this: What I actually wanted to achieve is the complete dot in the center repeated instead of stretched. I hope that it's possible. ...

How to get it working? The screenshot describes everything: Error Meassage in Console: ERROR: 9-patch image /res/drawable-hdpi/top_comple...
I try to implement a hover effect (effect when button is pressed) through putting a semi transparent PNG file on top of the button background and the button icon. Unfortunatly the button background file is a 9-PATCH-PNG which causes some trouble here: It "swallows" everything on top of its layer and doesnt allow to cover the stretchable ...
