Android 9patch image

When 9patch png images are used, do we need to provide them in xhdpi, hdpi and mdpi format also or only one resolution is enough? Because either way they will resize on resolution... or am I thinking something wrong?

You should use different sizes, otherwise a border on a LDPI device would look much thicker than on an XHDPI device

Nine-patches are widely used for background kind of images: most typically it would be some sort of border and a fill. You should provide only one resolution of 9patch, Android would scale it appropriately.

For the Nine patch image only one resolution is enough because 9-patch image scales the image text according to the layouts...
