Android: dots and line around nine patch images?
<p>I am trying to use the attached nine patch image as the background for a View in my app (the image is from the android-15 sdk resources).  As pictured, the image has two vertical dots to the left of image, two horizontal dots above the image, and a horizontal line below the image.  These dots/line from the images show in my app. </p>

<p>I copied the file from the sdk folder into my resources directory, and set the drawable resource as the background for my view.  What is the proper way to use this image as the background of a view, such that the dots/line do not show? </p>
