How to add padding for background image
- by michael
Hi,
I have a linear layout which has a background image (a 9 patched png file).
How can I add padding to left and right so that the background image does not take up the whole width? I have tried 'android:paddingLeft' and 'android:paddingRight', but that does not change anything.
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:paddingLeft="25dip"
android:paddingRight="25dip"
android:background="@drawable/background">
The whole background still stretches the whole screen width.
Thank you for any help.
