I'm not sure if this is exactly a beginner question or not, but I'll ask here anyway.
What I'm trying to add to my app is a simple background for the common windows. That part is easy enough either through themes or defining a background attribute to the toplevel layouts, but what I'm specifically trying for is a background with a drawing in the lower- right of the window. Now, this is also easy to implement in a sort of brute-force method. That is, make a background the size of the screen that is mostly white and leave it at that. But, that seems sort of a waste of storage space (ignoring the fact that PNG compresses big empty spaces well) and would not scale well if used on a device that doesn't have the 320x480 screen of the G1. Plus, it requires two backgrounds for the G1 regardless, one for portrait and one for landscape. And I can't easily define it in a theme without checking the orientation on each layout and reassigning the theme then based on it (else it scales to the new orientation). So my question is, how hard would it be to make a background I can attach to a theme with a single image in the corner that does not scale with the rest of the single-color background? Would this be a job for a NinePatch (albeit not the job it was meant for)? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
