I'm trying to get a 9 patch image to be the standard splash screen for my android app. I have looked here and it says that the file must be named "default.9.png" and placed in the "Resources/android" folder. In alloy, that directory gets automatically overwritten by the contents in "app/assets/android folder". So I tried placing the file in the "app/assets/android" folder This does not work, and instead a blue generic appcelerator screen is shown.
However, when I rename the file to "default.png" It will use it as the splash screen, but it is stretched incorrectly as it is used like a normal png.
I have also tried placing "default.9.png" in the Resources/android folder as stated in the documentation, but that folder is automatically removed.
So the issue is, I can set a splash screen using "default.png" but I CANNOT use a 9png for the splash (default.9.png).
Any ideas?
Thanks!
