You can do that in your styles.xml. I don't think you can put match_parent like you did in dimens.xml. You have to define size in px there. – Sambit Mallick Sep 14 '18 at 09:18

- match_parent

First create attribs.xml:
<resources>
<item name="match_parent" type="dimen">-1</item>
</resources>
Second use your dimens:
<dimen name="account_width">@dimen/match_parent</dimen>
