Background image with fading edges

I tried to put background image to linearlayout in my android project. All is working nicely except those fading edges in the left and right on the screen. My background image dimensions are 52x602 and don't have such fading edge originally. I want the background image to cover all the area. Also it has done by designer and using 9-patch I think (black border around image). How can I set the background correctly without those edges?

In emulator it looks like this:

XML:

<?xml version开发者_C百科="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  android:background="@drawable/login_background"
  android:orientation="vertical"
  >
</LinearLayout>

Ok, got answer myself. The .png files must have .9.png ending if they are 9-patch files...So if someone will have same problem, then you'll know.

Try setting fadingEdge to none

<LinearLayout
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  android:background="@drawable/login_background"
  android:orientation="vertical"
  android:fadingEdge="none"
  >
</LinearLayout>
