Referring to resource for Shape Drawable stroke width

Eclipse is able to render my layout when it includes:

...
<shape>
...
<stroke>
...
android:width="@strings/someWidth"

where someWidth is defined in strings.xml as

<string name="someWidth">5dp</string>

but it crashes on a real device, and only works if I use a direct string, like:

android:width="5dp"

How can I use a resource for the stroke width?

Try to use the dimension resources.

Create a dimens.xml file inside your values folder with the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <dimen name="some_width">5dp</dimen>
</resources>

You can refer to this using @dimen/some_width.
