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

When we nine patch any image it creates a black line to its border. That border should be transparent or completely solid. If it is not, this error will come.

So the solution is to increase the width and height by two pixels. (In Photoshop increase the size of the canvas, not the image.)
