[android-developers] Re: Wrong resolution ???
What does android.util.DisplayMetrics: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/DisplayMetrics.html give you?

[android-developers] Re: Wrong resolution ???
Probably confusion. It's kind of hard to sort out information from those documents. In fact I found that emulators and real devices were picking up different dimens.xml files I was using for setting font sizes than what the documentation claimed. Fortunately this had also been discovered by other developers on Stackoverflow and with provided solutions. Samsung seems to be a major culprit in designing devices that are tricky to create emulators for. They really need to supply emulator images for the devices that don't fall in line with Android standard pixel densities. However as I read recently Google is changing the licensing to prevent this. If you are familiar with the hardware industry they do this to differentiate their different models which benefits marketing but not developers or consumers.

Exactly the same wrong resolution, and dpi at 160 in all cases as expected since it is a mdpi device. metricsDisplayMetrics (id=830019718568) density1.0 densityDpi160 heightPixels752 noncompatDensity1.0 noncompatHeightPixels752 noncompatScaledDensity1.0 noncompatWidthPixels1238 noncompatXdpi160.0 noncompatYdpi160.0 scaledDensity1.0 widthPixels1238 xdpi160.0 ydpi160.0 Regards, On 11/23/2012 07:37 PM, RichardC wrote: What does android.util.DisplayMetrics: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/DisplayMetrics.html give you?

Re: [android-developers] Re: Wrong resolution ???
I was looking for it earlier but haven't found it yet. I don't know if you are declaring any dimens.xml but do you have a navigation bar on right when landscape? That would account for the 1238 resolution. Then the top is for the status bar or whatever it is being called these days. And 160 dpi is correct. In my case I need for the app to use the correct dimens.xml file but it wasn't working as advertised.
