Question

I don’t want to specify hard coded test size values in my layout.xml, hence i am using the following specification :

android:layout_height="@integer/intervalViewHt"

and
@integer/intervalViewHt value is as follows:

<integer name="medium">15</integer>

Now, the while inflating android is creating a problem saying that it cannot inflate the view. I want to actually specify value in dp so the actual value should be like

android:layout_height="15dp"

Can anyone help me here ?

Answer 1

What you’re looking for are “dimensions” rather than plain integers.

Declaration:

<dimen name="intervalViewHt">15dp</dimen>

Usage:

android:layout_height="@dimen/intervalViewHt"

Have a look at the given link for more examples in the Android docs.
