I want my app to have the ability to run on multiple screen sizes and I was hoping I could store text size values inside the different drawable folders so the text would fit based on screen size. Or is there a better practice for this problem?
EX:
drawable-hdpi << textsize == 50
drawable-mdpi << textsize == 25
drawable-ldpi << textsize == 10
The answer by @wsanville was correct if you want a an identical look and it scales correct, however if for some reason you want completely different sizes. For example, you are using a different layout on the tablet than you do on the phone and you want it to be a header on 1 and a subheader on the other. Then I’d recommend you define different dimen folders.
The above example would give you a small look on the phone and a large look on the tablets.
