AndEngine GLES2 scale without touching corner

Question

I want to scale this file

to create rectangles with diffrent sizes without cutting it to 4 or 9 peace. I know that in iOS it is possible, but it is in andengine? How I can tell to andengine "scale only green part"?

Answer 1

Android (and AndEngine) use 9-patch images to do this type of scaling. http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/2d-graphics.html#nine-patch
