Re: [android-developers] Re: 9.png file not spanning the LinearLayout when android:paddingBottom is specified

That kind of makes sense. However, even if the padding gets overwritten, the Button should still be over the red background since that is the content area of the 9.png. Why would the Button be positioned on the drop shadow (the non-content area of the 9.png)? Seems like there is some undefined non-intuitive behavior happening whereas it would be preferable for either of the defined padding to be applied (as that would the intuitive behavior).

Part of what 9patches do is define padding... if you define them on your own you'll overwrite the settings provided by the 9patch.

I have the following layout file which uses the attached 9.png. It results in the attached screenshot where the red background from the 9.png does not extend all the way behind the button. If I remove the android:paddingBottom="1dp" attribute below, things work as I expect. Is this behavior expected (if so, why), or is this a bug?

Thanks,
