Re: [android-developers] Re: 9.png file not spanning the LinearLayout when android:paddingBottom is specified

[Piren]

There's no such thing as "content area", it's just a way to describe where 
the padding starts and ends in relation to the size of the entire element 
and elements it contains, which basically translates to the 4 padding 
variables (which is probably partially why you can only define one region, 
unlike the "stretching" areas).
When you overwrote the padding variables, the "content area" definition got 
zeroed out, without knowing where to place the contents, it also doesn't 
know how to stretch the background properly
