No, I mean defining a value like this:

<dimen name="some_value">140dp</dimen>

and then using it like this:

<RealtiveLayout ..... android:layout_width="@dimen/some_value">

I used this for widget sizing, and had a default fallback dimens.xml in
"res/values" (without alternate qualifiers).

Based on my user's feedback, this produced zero-sized (invisible) widget
layouts.

Was this supposed to work for 1.5?
