Is it possible to use a 9-slice image when loading an image from a file path using BitmapFactory

Question

Normally an image which has been 9-sliced will stretch automatically if it is loaded from a resource. Is it possible to retain this functionality when loading the image using a file path and BitmapFactory?

I have not tried this, but it seems as though you can just create a NinePatchDrawable with the Bitmap, check out the docs.

Edit: Hmmm... it might not be as simple as it seems, see this answer.

"9-patch", but yes. See the constructor for NinePatch.
