enter image description here

here is the XML Layout File :

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <Button android:id="@+id/btn" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="100dp" android:background="@drawable/ninepatchimage" android:text="Click ME" /> </LinearLayout>

Looking at the image it appears that the image ins't being parsed as a 9patch, it should be saved as img.9.png if not it will appear as a normal image

Maybe try without the padding
the selected image is saved as img.9.png, but when I add it to Project as Icon Set Image, I checked the name of image and it was img.png in Drawable folders !!! is the problem here ???
Yeah, it needs to be like the image above
You can drag the image directly into the folder
Ok I will try that :) but in which Drawable folder should I drag the picture into ??

Nowadays in AndroidStudio, you can just take any image from the resources and right-click it and choose "Create 9-Patch file" and then configure it using the built in 9-Patch editor, as expained here.
