dimens.xml -> R not generating

When I add the file dimens.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <dimen name="smart_eyeglass_controll_width">419</dimen>
    <dimen name="smart_eyeglass_controll_height">138</dimen>
</resources>

to my values folder, R will not be generated. What is wrong? The file is OK - the rest of the project to. Cleaning the project up in Eclipse won't work.

Why it Showing

Because there are some compile error (or bug?) regarding to the xml file in res, so R is not genetared .

So,basically just Add unit beside your dimen value Like dp

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <dimen name="smart_eyeglass_controll_width">419dp</dimen>
    <dimen name="smart_eyeglass_controll_height">138dp</dimen>
</resources>

Then rebuild and clean your project

you have to specify an unit for your value, such dp. E.g

<resources>
    <dimen name="smart_eyeglass_controll_width">419dp</dimen>
    <dimen name="smart_eyeglass_controll_height">138dp</dimen>
</resources>

because you can't create dimens whiteout indicating that whether its a dip or sp or... if you want to create an integer value use:

<integer name="something">100</integer>

and if it has a unit put it..

<dimen name="width">100dip</dimen>
