I did a 9 patch image with android tool draw9patch.bat. Draw a black line

  • 0

I did a 9 patch image with android tool draw9patch.bat. Draw a black line only on the right side, where I want it to stretch. Saved as .9.png and set it to background of TextView:

android:background="@drawable/myninepatch"

It doesn’t work, I get the image with the black line in the app and it doesn’t stretch. What am I doing wrong?

I have seen at some places besides of the lines for the stretchable area there’s also a very small marked area in the opposite side, but I don’t know what is it for and I’m not using it.
