I've tried the draw9patch utility and http://android-ui-utils.googlecode.com/hg/asset-studio/dist/nine-patches.html . The Android draw9patch seems to work, I get a valid looking splashscreen.9.png with the tool. The stretch regions are correct in the interface. I've tried just loading that file up in the Mist interface -- it still looks stretched. I've also tried exporting project and adding files to App_Resources/Android ... no dice. I just copied the nine patch image to each drawable folder as splashscreen.9.png. What is the recommended approach?
