I need to code the layout of the android widgets using dip/dp (in java files). At runtime if I code, int pixel=this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getWidth(); this return the screen width...

I have known the difference among DP, SP and PX. And after searching this topic, I found nothing satisfying me completely. Maybe this post is a duplicate, but I still want to know what is the formu...

I am trying to calculate a variable amount of pixels to density independent pixels and vice-versa. This formula (px to dp): dp = (int)(px / (displayMetrics.densityDpi / 160)); does not work on sm...

I want to set the height of view in pixels not in dp. `Box(modifier = Modifier.height(100.dp))` In this example height of the box is set to 100 dp and modifier function accepts only dp. How to se...

I was reading dp, dip, px, sp measurements, but I still have some questions about dp/dpi vs ppi vs px vs inch. I am not able to compare them... is an inch the largest? They say 160 dpi means 160 ...

Does setWidth(int pixels) use device independent pixel or physical pixel as unit? For example, does setWidth(100) set the a view's width to 100 dips or 100 pxs? Thanks.

I want to convert dp to px in my C# code in xamarin.android, but all I could find were java codes in android studio that have some problems in xamarin. I tried to use equivalent like using Resource...

Slightly noob-ish question but I get confused when it comes to calculating what density bucket the phone falls in. I'll take my Galaxy S3 as an example. It has a resolution of 1280 x 720 which me...

Assume we have two android devices with the same screen dimensions, but with different resolutions. Is the following true or not: if dp unit is used to set the sizes of all views, then both screens...

What is the independent pixel density for a Galaxy s4? I need it so I can have a qualifier sw???dp for that phone. It would be great if you could explain how to calculate it.

Since dip stands for "device independent pixels", is there a standard number of dip for every android device out there? Example: if a hdpi device has X dp/width and Y dp/height, does a ldpi device...

I am using Libgdx to code an android game and as you may know, many screen resolutions cause some problems if done incorrectly. So I am trying to use this DP unit rather than pixels. However, I ha...

I have two images I want to display within my app. The first image is to be full screen (as a background for the app). I have read the 'Supporting Multiple Screens' article on developers.android.co...

Recently I discovered WPF supports different measurement units in XAML. Besides default DIPs, there is also support for pixels, inches and centimeters (as far as I know). This allows designer to wr...

I've done some research on building layouts that work for multiple screen sizes and I'm looking for some clarification. Is it common practice to just make a separate layout file for each of the th...

I found that it is possible to set dimensions of my interface elements in XML layouts using DIPs as in following fragment: android:layout_width="10dip" But all Java interface takes integer as a...
