I have a PNG being used for a TextView background. The TextView is set
to wrap_content for width/height. The problem is, I cannot get it to
be smaller than the original pixel dimensions of the background PNG,
this leaves my text floating in the middle, as if I've used padding.
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:maxWidth="250dip"
android:minWidth="150dip"
android:text="Sample text"
android:background="@drawable/my_png"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
/>
It turns out that if I make the PNG into a nine-patch, the TextView
behaves as I expect, and the width/height of the TextView is then
allowed to be smaller than the physical dimensions of the background
PNG being used. So this is a workaround for now.
Does anyone know whether I should report this as a bug (targetting
1.6)? Or is the background drawable supposed to be taken into account
as part of the content width/height unless using a nine-patch?
