I have read this where found that how to access integer resources in java class but no docs for another resource.
Here is Resources at res/values/integers.xml
<resources>
<integer name="input_field_padding" >5</integer>
</resources>
Tried to access the input_field_padding in EditText.
<EditText
android:id="@+id/user_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="@integer/input_field_padding" />
But I got the following exception
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Can't convert to dimension: type=0x10
Is it possible to access it in another resources file or am I missing something?
Finally I am able to access integer resource in java code and integer value as dimen in xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<dimen name="input_field_padding">20dip</dimen>
<integer name="input_field_padding">20</integer>
</resources>
In xml file:-
<EditText
android:id="@+id/user_name"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="@dimen/input_field_padding" />
In java file:-
EditText mUsername = (EditText) this.findViewById(R.id.user_name);
//int padding = this.getResources().getInteger(R.integer.input_field_padding);
int padding = (int) this.getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.input_field_padding);
mUsername.setPadding(padding, padding, padding, padding);
