[Interest] Handling dpi particularities across devices

[Nuno Santos]

Hi,

I have developed an app using fixed measures in pixels for certain parts. It is working well for iPad and 7” and 10” mdpi android devices. 

The problem is that certain android devices have huge resolutions for the same amount of physical sizes.

What are the technics uses to scale the content depending on the dpi?

Has anyone faced this kind of problems? How are you solving it?

Is there any way to test this on desktop instead of having a physical device. I currently don’t have a budget for buying every kind of devices for testing.

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Nuno Santos
