How to set Nine patch image for Widget views?

[Jaames]

Hi,

Is it possible to set nine patch image for any of supported Home Screen Widget views?

Thanks

You can use ImageView and draw the nine patch image using Canvas.DrawDrawable.

Yes, but how to parse ImageView to the canvas, I'm confused, becouse i can not add views in the run time , and ImageView added in a Layout designer it is not declared anywhere in the code :/ ?

Thanks for your reply

You should create a mutable bitmap (Bitmap.InitializeMutable) and draw on this bitmap with a canvas. You should then send it to the widget by calling RemoteView.SetImage.

Who would thought... I wasn't aware of Canvas.Initialise2 and Bitmap.InitialiseMutable methods , obviously , i need much more reading ...

Thanks , much appreciate it .
