hello. i wanted to set my text size programmatically so in first step i added "dimen" tag in my dimen Xml file like this :

HTML
<dimen name="txtsize">20sp</dimen> 

after that i wrote 3 lines of code :
Java
tv=new TextView(this);
tv.setTextSize(R.dimen.txtsize);
tv.setText("hi guys !")

but unfortunately the text was disappeared ! please notice that if i change my code to this
Java
tv.setTextSize(20);

it works well ! but i dont want to set the text size directly .
please share your useful ideas with me . thanks ...
