select all sides except corners as the stretching edges

Answer 2

Since nobody answered you for a year now... I had the same issue you need to setpadding of zero (even if you don't need it).

Good luck.

Answer 3

You can use nine patch in the same way you use a normal drawable. I assume you have a problem with the 9 patch itself. In the /tools directory of your android sdk you have the draw 9 patch tool. It will help you to correct your 9 patch drawable and to preview it for different sizes of your view.

Answer 4

you can use this xml as background to show as cardview.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
    <shape android:dither="true" android:shape="rectangle">
        <corners android:radius="2dp" />
        <solid android:color="#e2e2e2" />
    </shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="2dp">
    <shape android:dither="true" android:shape="rectangle">
        <corners android:radius="2dp" />
        <solid android:color="@color/white" />
    </shape>
</item>
