this is the original image 
i want to be like this 
But it looks like this :( 
- use a ShapeDrawable, setup a ShaderFactory that returns a BitmapShaderpskink– pskink2014-06-10 09:56:02 +00:00Commented Jun 10, 2014 at 9:56

Create a Bitmap Resource and repeat texture.
<bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:src="@drawable/ab_texture_tile_apptheme" android:tileMode="repeat" />

when I'm doing this the lines fills the whole image no just red part of the image

This is because of your round corners. I think you have to do some thing in coding. Create Bitmap by repeating texture and then round corners of image in java.

@Person you can find code for rounding corners here stackoverflow.com/a/3292810/1770916
You only use 9patch when you scale some part of it. Based from your example image and you quote lines of button is scaling that is because of the 9patch.
Solution
Dont use 9patch just set it as a background Drawable/imageSource in your desire view

Thank you @Rod_Algonquin. Is there any other solution to make this. Can I do it with drawable xml's?
Rod_Algonquin
@Person just set it directly to a view so it will scale equally.. If those lines where not there you can make a 9patch
try this:
final float r = 32; float[] outerRadii = { r, r, r, r, r, r, r, r }; ShapeDrawable d = new ShapeDrawable(new RoundRectShape(outerRadii, null, null)); ShaderFactory factory = new ShaderFactory() { @Override public Shader resize(int width, int height) { Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_launcher); Shader shader = new BitmapShader(bitmap, TileMode.REPEAT, TileMode.REPEAT); Matrix localM = new Matrix(); localM.postRotate(45); shader.setLocalMatrix(localM); return shader; } }; d.setShaderFactory(factory); someView.setBackgroundDrawable(d);
