Android 9 Patch Image Tutorial This tutorial describes what Android 9 patch images are. Nine patch images are especially useful when designing buttons. Splashscreen images for Xamarin Android can be tricky to create. Xamarin Android 9-Patch Image Splashscreen. Download the zip. Android devices come in different screen sizes and density, often making it very difficult for Android app maker to design an application for all screen sizes. Use of nine patch images can be very helpful for them. Nine patch ( 9-patch ) images are normal images with an additional 1 pixel border. This additional 1 pixel border is used to define 1. The scalable port.

9 Patch images are stretchable, repeatable images reduced to their smallest size.The simplest example would be if you were to take a rounded div and slice it upinto 9 squares like you would a tic-tac-toe board. The four corners wouldn't changesizes at all but would be static while the other 5 pieces would be stretched orrepeated to allow the whole image to scale appropriately.

With that explanation and the advent of CSS3 you might think that there is no reasonto use 9 patch images but the name '9 patch' is a misnomer. The images can be slicedup into even smaller pieces.

9 Patch images contain an index of which piece is what by adding a 1px border tothe image. The colors in the border determine if a piece is static (doesn't scale),it stretches, or it repeats.

Are there any central spots or collection in the net from created NinePatches?

I think they are real fancy and useful things. Even if you are not a designer this can bring you great benefit and look. But I think it would be great if there would be some collections for this in the internet as they are available for icons. But I didn't found anything useful. So I ask you if know such spots or webpages?

There are a couple of blogs out there with a few images:

and one posting a batch converter:

But they are quite easy to create yourself. Use the dev guide, those blogs and my answer here: How to create android spinner without down triangle on the right side of the widget to learn about them.

Then, just use draw9patch or Gimp (both free) to make them.
