Maximum dp/dip on android devices

kimv picture kimv · Aug 21, 2014 · Viewed 9.2k times · Source

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 have the same values? Namely X and Y?

If so, can anyone tell me the exact numbers?

Thanks in advance.

No, but this is how you roughly maps actual sizes and densities to generalized sizes and densities.

  • large screens are at least 640dp x 480dp
  • normal screens are at least 470dp x 320dp
