What is the `abc` prefix in R.dimen fields?

Question

I wonder what the prefix abc

in the fields means R.dimen

.

Can I use these values in my own layout.xml

or somewhere?

This is the prefix used by AppCompat to minimize naming conflicts with your code and other libraries. This is an acronym ActionBarCompat

.

You can find the commit that originally added this prefix to AppCompat here .
