Paolo,
Yes, using a nine-patch drawable background is easy, efficient, and
produces great results.
Try this: open a layout in XML mode and add this attribute:
android:background="@android:drawable/toast_frame"
Think you'll like it :)

ah... and using nine-patch drawable is better than the way I'm
following? Why should I prefer this way? I'm asking just to
understand :)

Just use android:background with a nine-patch drawable. No need to subclass.
You can even copy one of Android's nine-patch backgrounds into your project.
Take a look inside the Android SDK directory, then
platforms\android-X\data\res\drawable-mdpi (-hdpi).
There are some very nice one in there, in particular toast_frame.9.png,
zoom_plate, panel_background, etc.

Why would you need to extend RelativeLayout just to change the
background?

Hi!
I'm trying to customize a RelativeLayout on order to show a nice
trasparent black content box. So my class has extended RelativeLayout
and has overridden the onDraw() method, but nothing appears in the
Eclipse layout editor; the same happens if I try to run my app on the
device.
I read I have to override dispatchDraw() and this works. I can see my
custom layout in the editor, but I'm not able to add child view to the
layout. Or better... I add a child in my layout from XML, but I can't
see it on the Eclipse layout editor. In this case if I run the app on
the device I see my layout drawn not correctly.. only a part of it is
drawn or it appears cut.
Why? What am I wrong?
