Drawing frames

I think you should start by reading the Beginner's Guide Here Basic4android (Basic for Android) - Android programming with Gui designer, you'll find the answers very quickly there.

Hi, I've got a question and i need suggestions about
how to draw a panel in which I would like to show different information and to group them by type (i've got three types of info !)
I'd like to have these "sections", and put the different data each one in a own frame , who has got a different colour (the frame!) and a transparent background.
or to draw the borders (and rounded edges) , but i don't know how to draw these borders!
Is there an easy way? Or what do you suggest me for obtaining a sort of different "boxes" in a panel?

Thank you!

You could put panels inside panels or use drawing methods to create frames in your panel. There's no "frame" view or view with frame.

Sorry! I already read the Basic4android (Basic for Android) - Android programming with Gui designer, but I wasn't able to find the answers I was looking for!
Can you please help me telling me the chapter, or the specific pages you are referring to?
Unfortunately for me, it's not so easy/quick as you told me!!

Thank you! I' ve tried to put a panel into a panel... ma doing this way... i can't get a transparent background of the panel inside and i need it trasparency! Is it possibile to have the panel inside with transparent background, so that i can only see the BORDER of it?
Or to get the same result, i tried to draw a frame... but i wasn't able to do it! Can you please suggest me a tutorial?

Thanks!

I think the answer for your problem is 9-patch pngs since they work well for borders. I am also looking for rounded/raised/bevelled corner ones but my graphics skills are crap.
I can upload a sample once I get home.

Thank you very much thedesolatesoul!
I will surely try the 9-patch pngs as you suggest me!
My knowledge of graphics is crap too!!!
I would really appreciate if you could upload a sample! It would be great!!! Tnks!!

Look at the Nine Patch Image Tutorial.

Best regards.

Is it so difficult to type 9-patch in the forum search field? Or to look at the 9-patch section in the B4A User's Guide?

@klaus:
I'm so happy to find what I was looking for in the tutorial you suggest me!!!! I'm a beginner and I really needed your help! Thank you so much!!

@Informatix
Sorry... I'm a beginner and probably not a senior like you!
I asked for help because I didn't know what to search for exactly in the tutorials!!
But... was it so difficult, if you know the answer, tell me before about this tutorial? :sign0161:

One more on my blacklist.

Proud to be there!
If, when someone ask you something, your answer is "Go! And find it", I suppose that your whitelist is completely empty!!!
