NinePatch images are standard PNG files, with a 1-pixel border around the outside to mark the repeated areas. You can edit them in any image editor, and as long as you leave the 1-pixel outer border alone, they'll continue to work just fine.
See here for how they are constructed.
I am working with android's 9 patch image emulator to create 9 patch image.
Can anyone tell me how it actually works?
On what basis it Scale the image?
What are the parameters it considers to stretch image?
Here are great paragraphs about 9 patch drawables https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/2d-graphics.html#nine-patch
It's basically a PNG image with 1px border around it. With the black pixels on the border you define an area witch is stretchable and area in which the content is allowed.
