Value equals to match_parent or fill_parent in dimens.xml?

Question

Based on here on XML Attributes section I specify following in my dimens.xml:

-1dp


        

Answer 1

Use this, it works for me

-2px  
@dimen /custom_wrap_content

-1px  
@dimen /custom_match_parent

And the Reason why match_parent doesn't run. You cannot supply a build in keyword like match_parent

Edit: Use px instead of dp as suggested by Jarett Millard in the comments.
