Example
Dimensions are typically stored in a resource file names dimens.xml.
They are defined using a <dimen> element.
res/values/dimens.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<dimen name="small_padding">5dp</dimen>
<dimen name="medium_padding">10dp</dimen>
<dimen name="large_padding">20dp</dimen>
<dimen name="small_font">14sp</dimen>
<dimen name="medium_font">16sp</dimen>
<dimen name="large_font">20sp</dimen>
</resources>
You can use different units :
- sp : Scale-independent Pixels. For fonts.
- dp : Density-independent Pixels. For everything else.
- pt : Points
- px : Pixels
- mm : Millimeters
- im : Inches
Dimensions can now be referenced in XML with the syntax @dimen/name_of_the_dimension.
For example:
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="@dimen/large_padding">
</RelativeLayout>
