The file is a nine-patch, and should fill the view automatically. And I'm sorry to say, it does that just fine for all my widgets.
If you think the issue is with this particular file, you could try testing with one of the nine-patches under <android-sdk-root>\platforms\android-X\data\res. Other than that, you could try completely cleaning the project in Eclipse and/or uninstalling the application with "adb uninstall" just to make sure nothing is interfering with your testing. -- Kostya 2011/6/20 Jake Colman <[email protected]> > > Kostya, > > The background is specified in XML exactly as you suggested.
