Android drawable resources with numbers

I'm implementing a code-snipped in my android application, where i open a popup window. This popup window takes a little drawable and put it around itself. This png resource is named *.9.png. I can rename it as i prefer, but if i remove the 9 the output of the resource is different. With the number the png is displayed correctly; otherwise it is stretched on the entire window. What does it mean? Does the framework do something special seeing this number. Moreover i noticed that that when this resourced is used in code or XML, the .9 has to be omitted...so i think that it is for the framework. Could someone explain it in detail?

The code comes from the QuickAction3D package.

Yes, a *.9.png naming indicates a Nine-patch image, which is an image with annotations to modify stretching behaviour.
