title: 9 patch not working well
body: <p>I have created a simple 9 patch for an android EditText background.
  It works exactly as expected when I preview the graphical layout in eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that when I install the app on the device, the said EditText is horribly scaled, almost indistinguishable. </p>
  
  <p>What could be the problem?</p>
