Confused how this works? Is this where u can change the color and spacing of the keys thru background. Like ultra keyboard has u can make ur own skins with color changes and spacing between keys thick or wide. Is this something that this does. I don't use ultra keyboard anymore due 88 developers unresponsiveness to fix bugs but this was a feature that was nice he u don't find any skins on via Market to use. This option also had fading for the keys and background shading. Could u look at his and copy it to use with ur app

What is the best android on the market for t-mobile currently? Hey I've been thinking of upgrading to an android phone in the near future. I do like having a physical keyboard but if typing on a touch screen works well enough i wouldn't mind using that instead. I've noticed that the nexus one's specs but I'm not sure I want to spend 500 dollars on a phone unless its a big improvement over the others. What would you recommend?

Okay, I was able to get the Draw 9-patch to open up, but I am certainly lost as this is my first time using it. What I am curious about is, do I create the button or key in a normal program such as photoshop or some other image editing software and then upload it in the draw 9-patch program or how exactly do you edit and make your own type of buttons? I'm definitely interested in learning this.

If I understand the first post, draw 9-patch program is supposed to just add the extra pixels needed or whatever such as the transparent and black pixels.

Any tutorials on this would be highly appreciated, maybe something a little more in depth to editing or creating an actual button. I definitely would love to know. Thanks!

Does anyone know of a video or something that shows how to go about making a button? I would highly appreciate any information on this because I am pretty confused.

You don't need Eclipse, it's just a zip file with a xml and some images...

Hi all,

I'm encountering a small issue... When I click one of my keys, the text color is white, instead of black as I wrote in the XML file... Maybe I missed a node :( ?? has anyone the same problem ?
