9-patch image error in Android

Question

Whenever I try to add a 9-patch image to the \\drawable folder in my project, I get the same error:

ERROR: 9-patch image C:\\...\\res\\drawable\         


        

Answer 1

Just for the record: For me it turned out that this error came from a black border line on the right hand site and bottom side. So I had a black border on every side (top, right, bottom and left). Removing the redundant right and bottom line worked like a charm.
