I am having strange problems with 9-patch png on Android. It no longer works in the Eclipse visual editor, no matter what purpose I use (I tried several from 7 to 14). The error message main.xml is displayed in the error log: Index: 0, Size: 0 The exception is:
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0

The 9 patch was created using the draw9patch tool included in the SDK. I have these problems with all the images that I use in this project. I already used the 9-patch before in other projects without problems and, thus, suggested something specific there for the format of my current png. Perhaps the designer used by Photoshop creates png, which leads to invalid 9-patches. Does anyone know what the problem is?
