Create 9patch with fully round sides

Question

I'm trying to create a drawable that looks like the KitKat toast bacground:

enter image description here

but I have no idea how to recreate the fully round sides, I always end up with a rectangle with rounded edges like this:

enter image description here

or the sides aren't really round:

Any idea on how to accomplish this?

Btw, just setting the color of the Toast doesn't work.

Try adding your content area (right edge) to full (all black). — himanshurb, Jan 09 '14 at 08:29

Android 9-patch shadow generator will help you achieve the desired 9patch, allowing you to customize the roundness of the sides to your liking.

"Fill & Outline" will also give you the ability to apply some color.

Do it like this:

holo toast background from API 19

This is the toast_frame_holo.9.png from Android-19 (HDPI)

If you have the SDK install, it is in [SDK-DIR]/platforms/android-19/data/res/drawable-[density]/ – FunkTheMonk Jan 09 '14 at 08:43
