UnsupportedOperationException: Can't convert to dimension: type=0x1

Question

In Android I got following Error in the emulator and some mobile device but not in Tablet:

I can't understand what is the error actually?

I have searched many tutorials but can't find any solution.

Please help me to solve this.

Note: In this application, I have used ActionbarSherlock and theme, may i got because of that library or any other problem?

My Error Log is:

And also I have a custom theme file:

In values folder named styles_apptheme.xml and styles_myactionbar.xml, In values-v11 folder named styles_apptheme.xml, In values-v14 folder named styles_myactionbar.xml

What should I change?

Answer 1

After 2 days I found the solution; from the layout as defined in my question, I have a Spinner which is bound with a custom TextView:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/listTextViewSpinner"
    ...
    android:textSize="@dimen/spinner_list_item_text_size"
    ... />

Here, I have an extracted dimension resource: @dimen/spinner_list_item_text_size.

This has been defined in dimens.xml in the following directories:

• values-sw600dp
• values-sw720dp-land

but crucially I forgot to define it in

• values

After defining the resource (@dimen/spinner_list_item_text_size) in values/dimens.xml,it works successfully.

Answer 2

In my case the problem was

<dimen name="name">12</dimen>

instead of:

<dimen name="name">12dp</dimen>

Answer 3

You find in your logcat before the exception a line like this:

08-19 10:05:58.008: W/ResourceType(3999): Failure getting entry for 0x7f0a005f (t=9 e=95) in package 0 (error -75)

Search for tis number (here 0x7f0a005f) in the generated Resource.class R.java. The name of the variable is the missing dimen-resource.

Answer 4

For others that get here from a Google search, make sure you're assigning a dimension instead of something else. The logcat will point you to the problem view.

i.e. Somehow, 1 of my layouts had a couple of TextViews with android:textSize="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"

Renamed them to android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall" and all is well again.

Answer 5

Solved: I had the same error, But it turns out i forgot to define a value in dimens.xml yet i had defined it in dimens.xml(w820dp). Make sure all the values are defined. Worked for me

Answer 6

You can have a look to this thread, the problem seems to be exactly the one you're having:

https://github.com/JakeWharton/ActionBarSherlock/issues/446

It seems the trick is to do the following:

I met the same problem today, i couldn't find the reason but finally got a solution. It seems that you cannot put any properties that M9 cannot recognize int theme.xml, just like android:actionBarStyle. So the solution is to make a new theme.xml in value-v14, and put all these properties in it.

Good luck!

Answer 7

For me the problem was the value in the dimension.

<dimen name="general_container_width">@dimen/match_parent</dimen>

android was not able to resolve the @dimen/match_parent when I was trying to get the value in my custom view.

Answer 8

I had the same issue when I forgot to add "dp" to the dimens

<dimen name="hpr_trash_icon_frame_width">40</dimen>
<dimen name="hpr_trash_icon_frame_height">36</dimen>

To

<dimen name="hpr_trash_icon_frame_width">40dp</dimen>
<dimen name="hpr_trash_icon_frame_height">36dp</dimen>

Answer 9

In my case, Using Android Studio 3.5.3, I tried to create a new dimen.xml resource from the Android UI creation tool as below:

It created a resource without adding "dp" to the value I provided. Take care of this will resolve the problem.

Answer 10

Verify if dimension reference have "sp" in definition.

< dimen name="my_text_size">12sp< /dimen>
