You must supply a layout_width attribute in some d

Question

I am experiencing this problem in my app and I can't seem to understand how it happen. It only occurs in Samsung Galaxy Y phone, I tried this code in other devices and it is ok.

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{jpac.remaster.gtc/jpac.remaster.gtc.GTCSplash}: java.lang.RuntimeException: Binary XML file line #7: You must supply a layout_width attribute.

Can anyone help me with this? btw, here is the xml in question:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/tuna" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/dev_logo"
        android:layout_width="@dimen/speech_height"
        android:layout_height="@dimen/badge_height"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"
        android:contentDescription="@string/empty"
        android:scaleType="centerInside"
        android:src="@drawable/logo_dark" />

</RelativeLayout>

Also the activity for this xml file is the main entry point of the app.

Thanks in advance.

If you have dimensions (or any other values or resources) specified for particular densities or screen sizes, make sure you also have them defined in the generic directory (i.e. "values", "drawable")
