Terms Screen size, density, density independent pixel, resolution as a picture - pictogram.


Test your knowledge
Q: How to find out the phone screen size?
A: (By length of display diagonale in inch -  Not to measure a diagonal of device!!!)

Q: What resolution has 720 x 1280 display?
A: (921600 pixels)

Q: What does it mean "240 dpi" screen density?
A: (Display have density 240 x 240  dots - "Tri-color LED etc." - per every physical (real) square inch. If you have icon 240x240 pixels, this will just occupy an area of one square inch on the display.)

Q: Phone have screen density 240 dpi. Image for 160 dpi screen density have size 128x 128 pixels. What will be the size of the image for 240 dpi screen density?
A: (Calculate the virtual pixels size.   128 * (240/160)  =  192.  You have to resize image to new size 192 x 192 physical pixels and put into folder drawable-hdpi (high) ~240dpi  for phone with screen density 240 dpi. ) or use density independend pixels 128dp x 128dp.
