When I tested the font size with different density settings using the Eclipse Emulator, I get different size fonts even though I am using "dp" to specific the size. I would have thought the size may decrease with higher density, but I found the higher the density, the bigger the font is. I tried using "in" and "mm" and the same behavior occurs, in that the higher density, the bigger the fonts. This is based on android:minSdkVersion="10".
Is there any way I can set the font sizes to scale to the same size for the different density?
Here is the xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:textColor="@color/orange"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:text="THIS IS A TEST"
android:background="@color/white"/>
</LinearLayout>
Unfortunately I cannot post the images of the font size for the three Emulator settings due to lack of reputation.
Thank you.
I had the same problem... And did't found anything, but making folders:layout-small...large, xlarge, and folders with drawable images for high, mid and small densities with resolutios of images according to it... So, everything works well on different droids with different screens... For every display size there is layout with different meanings of dp...((
