In my dimens.xml I have <dimen name=”test”>48dp</dimen> In code If I do int valueInPixels = (int) getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.test) this will return 72 which as docs state is multiplied by density of current phone (48dp x 1.5 in my case) exactly as docs state : Retrieve a dimensional for a particular resource ID. Unit conversions are based … Read more
You can get info on the display from the DisplayMetrics struct: DisplayMetrics metrics = getResources().getDisplayMetrics(); Though Android doesn’t use a direct pixel mapping, it uses a handful of quantized Density Independent Pixel values then scales to the actual screen size. So the metrics.densityDpi property will be one of the DENSITY_xxx constants (120, 160, 213, 240, … Read more
Java code: // Converts 14 dip into its equivalent px float dip = 14f; Resources r = getResources(); float px = TypedValue.applyDimension( TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, dip, r.getDisplayMetrics() ); Kotlin code: val dip = 14f val r: Resources = resources val px = TypedValue.applyDimension( TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, dip, r.displayMetrics ) Kotlin extension: val Number.toPx get() = TypedValue.applyDimension( TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, this.toFloat(), Resources.getSystem().displayMetrics)
