Hi devs.
I have this method, and the textfield is drawn reddish, i tried several methods but nothing yet.

What am i doing wrong? I used 9Patch that comes in tool from android SDK.

public static TextField create9PatchTextField(String text) {
        BitmapFont font = BitmapFontFactory.getLatin();

        TextureAtlas.AtlasRegion region = AssetAccessor.getAtlas().findRegion("GAMEDATA/HUD/TEXTFIELD/TEXTFIELD", 9);

        TextureRegion region2 = new TextureRegion(region);

        NinePatch np = new NinePatch(region2);
        np.setColor(Color.WHITE);
        np.setPadLeft(30);
        np.setPadRight(30);

        NinePatchDrawable ninePatchDrawable = new NinePatchDrawable(np);
        Color color = ninePatchDrawable.getPatch().getColor();
        //ninePatchDrawable.getPatch().setColor(new Color().set(Color.CLEAR));
        //ninePatchDrawable.getPatch().setColor(new Color().set(Color.WHITE));

        //Prints FF0000FF
        System.out.println("" + color);

        TextField.TextFieldStyle textFieldStyle = new TextField.TextFieldStyle(font, Color.WHITE, null, null, ninePatchDrawable);

        TextField textField = new TextField(text, textFieldStyle);

        return textField;
    }
