Question

I want to implement this image

area textbox1 and textbox2 ninepatch able

how can I ninepatch exactly this ??

Answer 1

There is one constraint with android 9-patch : the content area defined by right and bottom borders must be continuous (i.e. you can only have one segment on right and bottom border).

On the other hand you can have multiple stretchable area defined by segments on the top and left borders.

In your case :

for the stretchable areas :

• draw one segment on the left border

• draw two segments (of the same lenght) on top border (symetric around the vertical divider but don’t include the vertical divider in them).

for the content area:

• draw one segment on bottom border
• draw one segment on the right border

For the content:

• define a horizontal linear layout with 2 TextView in it (width = 0dp and weight = 1.0 for both)
• use your nine patch image as background

Hope this help.

I don’t think it’s linked to the 9-patch image. It’s more likely related to the textView.

try : on the textView

android:layout_height="WRAP_CONTENT"

on the linear layout

android:layout_height="WRAP_CONTENT"
