Screen Density in Dev Studio AlphaApp Platform
The Screen Density is one of the Screen Properties in Dev Studio Alphatech Technology app builder which defines the density of the app’ screen.
There are several density buckets available for use in your apps.
See below the Screen Density predefined in Alphatech Technology app builder and what screen types they apply to.
- Screen type - Description
- None - Resources for all densities. These are density-independent resources. The system does not
scale resources tagged with this qualifier, regardless of the current screen's density.
- Low Density - Resources for low-density (ldpi) screens (~120dpi).
- Medium Density - Resources for medium-density (mdpi) screens (~160dpi). (This is the baseline density.)
- High Density - Resources for high-density (hdpi) screens (~240dpi).
- Extra High Density - Resources for extra-high-density (xhdpi) screens (~320dpi).
- Extra Extra High Density - Resources for extra-extra-high-density (xxhdpi) screens (~480dpi).
- Extra Extra Extra High Density - Resources for extra-extra-extra-high-density (xxxhdpi) uses (~640dpi).
It's important to test your app on multiple devices with different pixel densities so you can ensure your UI scales
correctly. Testing on a physical device is easy but you can also use an Emulator if you don't have access to physical devices for all
the different pixel densities.
