In android studio,you can edit 9 patches directly from with the IDE. But is it also possible to convert an png image to 9-patch using the IDE? (similar to the android 9-patch tool provided by the SDK).

A 9 patch image is a regular png (. PNG) image which is needful for android app developers where they require to wrap any content within a background image without pixelating the background image.
The nine patch images have extension as. 9. png. It allows extension in 9 ways, i.e. 4 corners that are unscaled, 4 edges that are scaled in 1 axis, and the middle one that can be scaled into both axes.
Creating 9 patch background image using Photoshop:Draw the images in a regular way as you use to do in Photoshop. Make the 1px spacing around the image from all sides. And also make sure that the image doesn't have anything in this 1px area & has 100% transparency. Otherwise 9patch image will not work.
Well I don't think there is any tool in Android Studio but you can do this by Android Asset Studio
