Cannot convert string '@bool/some_key' to target class 'boolean'

Question

I have the following bool.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <bool name="some_key">false</bool>
</resources>

When I try to use this value in AndroidManifest:

<activity
    android:name=".ui.activities.SomeActivity"
    android:enabled="@bool/some_key"
    ... >
    ...
</activity>

I get this error:

Cannot convert string '@bool/some_key' to target class 'boolean'

I'm using Android Studio 2.2.3
