Question

I have a widget layout as follow :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/widget"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="@drawable/widget_bg">
<TextView android:layout_height="fill_parent"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:id="@+id/widgetText"
 android:text="@string/sWaitingForLocation"
 android:layout_marginLeft="4dip"
 android:layout_marginRight="4dip"
 android:layout_marginTop="4dip"
 android:layout_marginBottom="4dip"
 android:textStyle="bold"
 android:gravity="center">
</TextView>
</LinearLayout>

But the text doest appear, like it’s hidden behind the background.

My background is a 9patch png.
It does work if I use android:background=”android:color/black” …
Can it be my png ? (created using android tool draw9patch)

Answer 1

I have found the problem : my ninepatch png was messed up.
