Android float/double resource type

Question

As I understood from available Android Resource types, there is no straight way to use float values as resources, unless you use some hacks such as the one mentioned in here

Answer 1

Just save your double as a String resource

0.12154646

And then just parse that in your code like this

double some_decimal = Double.parseDouble(context.getString(R.string.some_decimal));

You can also make your own type of resource values and get it from there like this

2.0

And then get it like this

TypedValue tempVal = new TypedValue();
getResources().getValue(R.vals.some_decimal, tempVal, true);
float some_decimal = tempVal.getFloat();

But it's impossible to get doubles like this and also I think that it's less performant than just simply parsing a string resource, so I prefer my first option.
