'Tiled' Button Format Generator about android-ui-utils

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I think this would be covered by Issue 22. I don't think it would make sense 
for the Asset Studio to just have a button generator, as most Android apps have 
other UI elements that would need similar styling. I hope to find some time to 
implement 22 :-)

In the meantime, feel free to mess with the source code to do something that 
fits your use case.

I won't complain because my button looks like a granite engraving now! This 
will make my users very happy. :)

This allows me the freedom to add simple icons to buttons without fancy effects 
getting in the way.

Here's a somewhat useful (if outdated) standard for touchscreen button design 
(Primarily a design guide for Kiosk-type interfaces).  In the examples, the 
buttons resemble enlarged android buttons.

I prefer floating granite :)

I think you should send out an APB e-mail to all android developers about the 
existence of these tools.  I would expect an immediate jump in the 
professionalism of 3rd party apps.  I can see what you guys are trying to do, 
and I think its perfect right now.  Engineers can design with the right tools, 
keep it up!  I will refer Android developers to this site.

Thank you! And please do follow Issue 22, it's one of the bigger next steps for 
these tools, and I hope to have time to implement it.

I ended up manipulating the svg file to export 9-patches for different screen 
sizes.  I have a newfound appreciation for graphic designers.
