Images and themes
Nine-patch
A Nine-patch drawable is a stretchable bitmap image, which Android will automatically resize to accommodate the contents of the view in which you have placed it as the background, e.g. nine-patch background for button, which must stretch to accommodate strings of various lengths. The rules for nine-patch image are following:
- Standard PNG image with alpha
- Filename suffix is “.9.png”, e.g. “btn_login_normal.9.png”
- Image has an extra 1 pixel wide border, used to define the stretchable/static/padding areas
- Stretchable sections are indicated by 1 px wide black line(s) in the left and top part of the border
- Static sections are indicated by fully transparent or white pixels
- Padding area (optional) is indicated by 1 px wide black line in the right and bottom part of the border

Naming conventions
Naming conventions for drawables
File names must contain only lowercase a-z, 0-9, or _.
Drawables for the specific views (ListView, TextView, EditText, ProgressBar, CheckBox etc.) should be named like this views keeping the naming rules, e.g. drawable for CheckBox should be named “checkbox_on_bg.png”.
| Asset Type | Prefix | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Action bar | ab_ | ab_stacked.9.png |
| Button | btn_ | btn_send_pressed.9.png |
| Dialog | dialog_ | dialog_top.9.png |
| Divider | divider_ | divider_horizontal.9.png |
| Icon | ic_ | ic_star.png |
| Menu | menu_ | menu_submenu_bg.9.png |

Organizing drawables to directories
One drawable must have the same file name for all screen densities (ldpi, mdpi, hdpi etc.) and all these files must be organized according to density into the following directories. Here’s the resources directory structure for drawables:
- res
- drawable-ldpi
- drawable-mdpi
- drawable-hdpi
- drawable-xhdpi
- drawable-xxhdpi
