I'm trying to build a seek bar with text in/"under" it to make
something akin to the "slide to unlock" bar on the iPhone.  I figured
I'd change the style of the seek bar and added:
<layer-list>
...
<item android:id="@android:id/background">
        <layer-list>
                <item>
                        <shape>
                            <corners android:radius="10dip" />
                            <gradient
                                    android:startColor="#88747674"
                                    android:centerColor="#885a5d5a"
                                    android:centerY="0.25"
                                    android:endColor="#889d9e9d"
                                    android:angle="270"
                            />
                        </shape>
                </item>
                <item>
                        <bitmap android:src="@drawable/slide_to_finish_label"
android:gravity="fill_horizontal"/>
                </item>
        </layer-list>
    </item>
...
</layer-list>

slide_to_finish_label is a 9-patch PNG.  The default tile mode is
listed as none.  When I use this nested layer-list as the background
of my app it works as I expect.  My bitmap shows up stretched side to
side but not up and down.  When I use this as the style for the seek
bar the bitmap shows up not stretched and repeating.

Changing the gravity attribute has no affect on the repeating.  I
thought it might have something to do with the nesting of the layer
list, like that the item in the parent-list is being repeated.  The
guide on Drawable Resources seemingly warns on this issue and suggests
using a bitmap to control stretching and repeating but even when I
reduce the item to just a bitmap (not a nested layer-list) gravity
still has no affect.
