PODumped XML Layout File padding positions not behaving correctly

copied!<p>I've been trying to figure out how to make some sense of a dumped XML layout, and it's progressing 'pretty good'. The only thing I'm currently unsure about is the following:</p> <p>When I use the command:</p> <pre><code>aapt dump xmltree <pathofapk> <pathofxmlfile> </code></pre> <p>I get the following result:</p> <pre><code> N: android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android E: LinearLayout (line=2) A: android:orientation(0x010100c4)=(type 0x10)0x1 A: android:layout_width(0x010100f4)=(type 0x10)0xffffffff A: android:layout_height(0x010100f5)=(type 0x10)0xffffffff E: LinearLayout (line=7) A: android:orientation(0x010100c4)=(type 0x10)0x0 A: android:background(0x010100d4)=@0x7f020004 A: android:layout_width(0x010100f4)=(type 0x10)0xffffffff A: android:layout_height(0x010100f5)=(type 0x10)0xfffffffe E: ImageView (line=12) A: android:gravity(0x010100af)=(type 0x11)0x3 A: android:layout_gravity(0x010100b3)=(type 0x11)0x13 A: android:id(0x010100d0)=@0x7f090021 A: android:paddingLeft(0x010100d6)=(type 0x5)0xa01 A: android:paddingTop(0x010100d7)=(type 0x5)0x401 A: android:layout_width(0x010100f4)=(type 0x10)0xfffffffe A: android:layout_height(0x010100f5)=(type 0x10)0xfffffffe A: android:src(0x01010119)=@0x7f020006 E: ScrollView (line=21) A: android:orientation(0x010100c4)=(type 0x10)0x1 A: android:layout_width(0x010100f4)=(type 0x10)0xffffffff A: android:layout_height(0x010100f5)=(type 0x10)0xffffffff A: android:layout_weight(0x01010181)=(type 0x4)0x3f800000 E: LinearLayout (line=25) A: android:orientation(0x010100c4)=(type 0x10)0x1 A: android:id(0x010100d0)=@0x7f09002d A: android:padding(0x010100d5)=(type 0x5)0xa01 A: android:layout_width(0x010100f4)=(type 0x10)0xffffffff A: android:layout_height(0x010100f5)=(type 0x10)0xffffffff E: EditText (line=29) A: android:layout_gravity(0x010100b3)=(type 0x11)0x51 A: android:id(0x010100d0)=@0x7f09002e A: android:layout_width(0x010100f4)=(type 0x10)0xffffffff A: android:layout_height(0x010100f5)=(type 0x10)0xfffffffe A: android:text(0x0101014f)="" (Raw: "") A: android:hint(0x01010150)=@0x7f070050 E: EditText (line=36) A: android:layout_gravity(0x010100b3)=(type 0x11)0x51 A: android:id(0x010100d0)=@0x7f09002f A: android:layout_width(0x010100f4)=(type 0x10)0xffffffff A: android:layout_height(0x010100f5)=(type 0x10)0xfffffffe A: android:text(0x0101014f)="" (Raw: "") A: android:hint(0x01010150)=@0x7f070051 A: android:password(0x0101015c)=(type 0x12)0xffffffff E: LinearLayout (line=44) A: android:orientation(0x010100c4)=(type 0x10)0x0 A: android:padding(0x010100d5)=(type 0x5)0xa01 A: android:layout_width(0x010100f4)=(type 0x10)0xffffffff A: android:layout_height(0x010100f5)=(type 0x10)0xfffffffe E: Button (line=48) A: android:id(0x010100d0)=@0x7f090030 A: android:layout_width(0x010100f4)=(type 0x10)0xffffffff A: android:layout_height(0x010100f5)=(type 0x10)0xfffffffe A: android:text(0x0101014f)=@0x7f07000a A: android:layout_weight(0x01010181)=(type 0x4)0x3f800000 E: Button (line=54) A: android:id(0x010100d0)=@0x7f090031 A: android:layout_width(0x010100f4)=(type 0x10)0xffffffff A: android:layout_height(0x010100f5)=(type 0x10)0xfffffffe A: android:text(0x0101014f)=@0x7f070003 A: android:layout_weight(0x01010181)=(type 0x4)0x3f800000 </code></pre> <p>That's all good, but what I'm trying to figure out is how to convert the following code into the XML layout file:</p> <pre><code> A: android:paddingLeft(0x010100d6)=(type 0x5)0xa01 A: android:paddingTop(0x010100d7)=(type 0x5)0x401 </code></pre> <p>Converting those values to decimal would result in:</p> <pre><code>paddingLeft:2561 paddingTop:1025 </code></pre> <p>All good, but I've been trying to figure out what the (type 0x5 means). With all other types, the result is defined in the Android.util.TypedValue.class file</p> <p>Decompiling that, gives the following result for 0x5:</p> <pre><code> // Field descriptor #8 I public static final int TYPE_DIMENSION = 5; </code></pre> <p>Makes sense, in a way. But, I need to know what kind of value it is, so looking down, I find the following value:</p> <pre><code> // Field descriptor #8 I public static final int COMPLEX_UNIT_MM = 5; </code></pre> <p>But, when I try to use 2561mm and 1025mm (It's a tad much anyway, 25cm is.. larger than my screen), The whole screen is filled with the 'parent LinearLayout'. </p> <p>I have no clue what's wrong. Can anyone enlighten me on this subject?</p>
