Android Question How to avoid different 9Patch appearance on views Label and Button?

[fredo]

If the same 9Patch is applied to a Label and a Button it gives a different appearance on a "Nougat" device.



Can this somehow be avoided?

Are you using B4A v6.50? Try to set the button's padding to 0, 0, 0, 0.

...using B4A...?

B4A v6.50 BETA #1 is used on a Dev with sdk=24 and targetSdkVersion="19"

Try ...

No change with using

    Dim jo = btn As JavaObject
    jo.RunMethod("setPadding", Array As Object(0, 0, 0, 0))

before and after the "SetNinePatchView(...)"

I see it too. Not sure why it happens. Do you want it to look like the button or the label?

Thanks for your efforts on this.

..to look like..

..the Label.

While trying to find a grip on this I tried using different 9patch sizes at it seems that this effect occours when the 9patch-image is bigger than the view.



It simply is neccessary to have the 9patch dimensions smaller than the receiving view to avoid the effect.

I think this is ok so far.

...screenshooting...

Thank you.
I think visualization of technical issues helps a lot to get issues solved and avoids timeconsuming misunderstandings.
