Is it possible to get a reference to the xml defined dimensions that Android itself uses?
I'm using material design and noticed that a Button has a default elevation > 0. I want some of my custom elements to sit above the button (in the z dimension) and thought that a good way to do this might be to get a reference to the dimension value that the button uses and set my dimension to that value. However, I can't figure out how or if it's possible to get a reference to that value.
Here's the file that contains the value I'm after:
If the route I'm pursuing isn't feasible, does anyone have any suggestions for maintaining intended z ordering in Material Design since elevations can override the 'normal' z ordering of ViewGroups?
