Question

I want to draw ImageView with text over a relative layout with 9patch background.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/splash_last" >

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView2"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:src="@drawable/appnameimg" >
</ImageView>

</RelativeLayout>

In editor i have this:

On the phone :

It seems that I have just 3 character from string.

Where is my mistake?

UPD

Answer 1

I am able to reproduce the issue. It looks like the way you are trying to define the 9 patch is the issue. You want one corner to be un-stretchable which is not possible. According to this doc, the area to be stretched is intersection of left and top one pixel black lines. Using that definition it is not possible to define corner as un-stretchable. If I remove the 9 patch the both images looks fine.
