Overriding dimens.xml values of a library

Question

I have an apklib which has a dimens.xml in it with some default values, but I want to use some other values based on my use-case. Is there any approach to do this without modifying the source of the library?

Answer 1

You don't have to touch the source code just define the values with same name in your dimens folder. When you use same name, it is always count the overridden values. I think it will work.

Another approach may work like this way, get the viewgroup/layout from your library, iterate the ChildView and change the margin/padding as your requirements.

Answer 2

late to the party but it will probably useful for other users:

you simply need to override the value in your dimens.xml inside app/src/main/res/layout/
