That's the purpose of dimens - to declare units of measurement that can vary across different device configurations. The purpose of an attribute is to define a configurable property of a view, which can then be set in Xml or at runtime. Padding is already a property of View, so creating your own is redundant. Then you'd have to apply this style to each and every view which you'd want to modify. Even then, your attribute would only be understood by a CustomView which you implemented to specifically read and use this attribute, further restricting how and when you could use it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
