Answer 1

Heres the solution for you:

    <TextView
    android:id="@+id/yourTextViewWidget"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/your_9_patch_image"
    android:paddingLeft="10dip"
    android:paddingRight="10dip"
    android:text="Testing News" />

Let me expalain here: Setting the 9 patch image as the background of the textview and putting the padding to the textview will create the above image like background for your textview.
