Nick, Thank you for your thoughts. I hoped it would be that easy as well, however according to this discussion: https://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thre...
Romain Guy states "There's a compilation phase to embed extra information inside the PNG but it happens in aapt when the apk is built.". Since I need to create 9patch images after apk packaging, it looks like I need to replicate what the aapt does. Unfortunately this is quite beyond my knowledge so any information anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated! Matt.
