I have a value in my dimens.xml defined as follows:
<dimen name="input_text_width">250dp</dimen> I want to use it to dynamically size the width of a TextView, as follows:
tv.setWidth(activity.getResources().getInteger(R.dimen.input_text_width)); The resource exists (checked in R.java). I have run "clean" on my project more than once. Why do I keep getting this exception?
android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f050012 type #0x5 is not valid I have taken this from Android Docs
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> <dimen name="textview_height">25dp</dimen> <dimen name="textview_width">150dp</dimen> <dimen name="ball_radius">30dp</dimen> <dimen name="font_size">16sp</dimen> </resources> And in code
//Retreive dimension Resources res = getResources(); float fontSize = res.getDimension(R.dimen.font_size); In your xml
<TextView android:layout_height="@dimen/textview_height" android:layout_width="@dimen/textview_width" android:textSize="@dimen/font_size"/> I hope this will help!
You have to get the dimension pixels...
int size = activity.getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.input_text_width); textView.setWidth(size); Might it be because you use :
activity.getResources().getInteger(R.dimen.input_text_width) Instead of :
activity.getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.input_text_width);
