I am creating a chat client demo and I want to design an layout for chat item. I want to apply 2 different backgrounds for TextView (contains chat message) when chatting. So how can I design this background for making textView looks good when chat message is short/long? I don't think 9path can do it well for me.

Sorry, this is image link for what I said. enter link description here

  • I don't know how to draw background drawable like that to apply to textview. That background likes a Callout, with an arrow, bright color, ...I draw a callout with MS Office, and create 9path from that. When text inside textview is so long, the arrow changes the size (longer, worse). I try to apply but it can not beautiful like Yahoo! in the link. – quocnhat7 Nov 23 '12 at 12:39
