Question

In Android when Im measuring, is it wise to use DP, or something else? Im scared that dp might change from device to device and my app will look horrible in anything other than my phone.

Answer 1

You should ALWAYS use dp. If you need the value in pixels, you could use this method –

public static int dpToPixels(Context context, float dp) {
    final float scale = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
    return (int) (dp * scale + 0.5f);
}
