    <p>I am using a TextView and a 9 patch image as its background for a messaging application in android.</p> <p>Here's what it looks like: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/cIkhf.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>See how for the blue, it is showing too much on the left? How can I reduce it when it decides that it has to wrap the text?</p> <p>I tried to access the Width and Height fields on the view in <code>public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)</code>, however they are always zero (ps the TextView is located inside of a ListView and the <code>getView</code> method is inside the adapter for the ListView).</p> <p>Thank you!</p> <hr> <h2>TextView XML:</h2> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" &gt; &lt;TextView android:id="@+id/message_text" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_margin="5sp" android:background="@drawable/bubble_b" android:shadowColor="@color/textShadow" android:shadowDx="1" android:shadowDy="1" android:text="Medium Text" android:textColor="#000000" android:textSize="16sp" android:lineSpacingMultiplier="1.1" /&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <hr> <h2>Also, here's a screen of what the nine-patch does for it, so you can see how that works for it:</h2> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/lkfZ9.png" alt="enter image description here"></p>

    1. COWhat is difference between gray and blue one? Why does gray one shows it well? Did you try to put padding to `TextView`? Also if they are `9patch` images, I think you left less space in blue one compared to gray one. I would draw my 9 patch again

    2. COI want it to reflect the blue more than the gray. The gray was a different issue that is now fixed. I'll reupload the photo. I want the bubble to hug the text more tightly. I think it has something to do with the textview sizing more so than the nine patch.

    3. CONo, you misunderstood. I mean whatever you did to gray do same to the blue. When you draw 9patch, leave more space on left and right.9 patch only stretches the area in the middle.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
