Download

To get the latest build (.jar or .exe file), check the release page on the github project: https://github.com/redwarp/9-Patch-Resizer/releases

The .exe file is just a wrapper around the executable .jar file, use it if you don't feel comfortable with a java archive ^_^

What is it exactly?

Let's face it : juggling with densities for Android is a bit of a pain, especially when dealing with 9 patch png.

And then comes this tool, that takes a xhdpi PNG file, or 9.png file, and generates ldpi, mdpi and hdpi png files automatically.

As simple as drag and drop can get.

And here is the changelog

Current version : 1.4.2

Notable forks

Soymonitus did a fork that also handles iOS resources, might come in handy for some people: https://github.com/soymonitus/9-Patch-Resizer

Anyway...

If for some weird reasons, some of your PNG files aren't resized properly, don't hesitate to send them to me, so that I can investigate !

I hope it'll prove as useful to you as it is useful to me. If you like it, and have too much cash in you hands, don't hesitate to donate. I will probably use it on beers though, so you should probably not bother, if you care for my health.
