I have a LinearLayout that I set a background to a 9-patch drawable. It appears that the LinearLayout is somehow forcing its contents to display within the center space defined by its background. This is really creating problems as the content is being "scrunched" or compressed to a much smaller space that what I anticipated. I do not have any margins or padding set on the LinearLayout so I know the only place it could be getting this is from the background. All I wanted was for the background to be a background and not some how contribute to how the LinearLayout laid out its views. Is there a way to tell the LinearLayout NOT to pull sizing information from its background? I see that the class NinePatchDrawable has a getPadding() but NO setPadding(). I assume that the LinearLayout is getting the padding from NinePatchDrawable and using that to contrain the contents of the layout to a smaller area. Can I override this without subclassing this class?
