title: Drawing Nine Patch onto Canvas (Android)
body: <p>I'm trying to draw a nine patch onto a Canvas object on the Android. What seems strange is that although I generated my nine patch using the draw9patch tool, the constructor for NinePatch requires an additional byte array called the "chunk" to construct the nine patch.</p>
  
  <p>Why isn't this simpler? What is the "chunk"? And if you have done this yourself, how did you go about it?</p>
  
  <p>Any help appreciated.</p>
