I have created my application with the height and width given in pixels for a Pantech device whose resolution is 480x800.
I need to convert height and width for a G1 device. I thought converting it into dp will solve the problem and provide same solution for both devices.
Is there any easy way to convert pixels to dp? Any suggestions?

You should use dp just as you would pixels. That's all they are; display independent pixels. Use the same numbers you would on a medium density screen, and the size will be magically correct on a high density screen.
However, it sounds like what you need is the fill_parent option in your layout design. Use fill_parent when you want your view or control to expand to all the remaining size in the parent container.
// Converts 14 dip into its equivalent px
float dip = 14f;
Resources r = getResources();
float px = TypedValue.applyDimension(
TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP,
dip,
r.getDisplayMetrics()
);
PX
and DP
are different but similar.
DP
is the resolution when you only factor the physical size of the screen. When you use DP
it will scale your layout to other similar sized screens with different pixel
densities.
Occasionally you actually want pixels
though, and when you deal with dimensions in code you are always dealing with real pixels
, unless you convert them.
So on a android device, normal sized hdpi
screen, 800x480 is 533x320
in DP
(I believe). To convert DP
into pixels /1.5
, to convert back *1.5
. This is only for the one screen size and dpi
, it would change depending on design. Our artists give me pixels
though and I convert to DP
with the above 1.5
equation.
According to the Android Development Guide:
px = dp * (dpi / 160)
But often you'll want do perform this the other way around when you receive a design that's stated in pixels. So:
dp = px / (dpi / 160)
If you're on a 240dpi device this ratio is 1.5 (like stated before), so this means that a 60px icon equals 40dp in the application.
float density = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
float px = someDpValue * density;
float dp = somePxValue / density;
density
equals
.75
on ldpi
(120
dpi)1.0
on mdpi
(160
dpi; baseline)1.5
on hdpi
(240
dpi)2.0
on xhdpi
(320
dpi)3.0
on xxhdpi
(480
dpi)4.0
on xxxhdpi
(640
dpi)Use this online converter to play around with dpi values.
EDIT: It seems there is no 1:1 relationship between dpi
bucket and density
. It looks like the Nexus 5X
being xxhdpi
has a density
value of 2.625
(instead of 3
). See for yourself in the Device Metrics.
/**
* This method converts dp unit to equivalent pixels, depending on device density.
*
* @param dp A value in dp (density independent pixels) unit. Which we need to convert into pixels
* @param context Context to get resources and device specific display metrics
* @return A float value to represent px equivalent to dp depending on device density
*/
public static float convertDpToPixel(float dp, Context context){
Resources resources = context.getResources();
DisplayMetrics metrics = resources.getDisplayMetrics();
float px = dp * ((float)metrics.densityDpi / DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEFAULT);
return px;
}
/**
* This method converts device specific pixels to density independent pixels.
*
* @param px A value in px (pixels) unit. Which we need to convert into db
* @param context Context to get resources and device specific display metrics
* @return A float value to represent dp equivalent to px value
*/
public static float convertPixelsToDp(float px, Context context){
return px / ((float) context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().densityDpi / DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEFAULT);
}
You can therefore use the following formulator to calculate the right amount of pixels from a dimension specified in dp
public int convertToPx(int dp) {
// Get the screen's density scale
final float scale = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
// Convert the dps to pixels, based on density scale
return (int) (dp * scale + 0.5f);
}
Preferably put in a Util.java class
public static float dpFromPx(final Context context, final float px) {
return px / context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
}
public static float pxFromDp(final Context context, final float dp) {
return dp * context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
}
In case you developing a performance critical application, please consider the following optimized class:
public final class DimensionUtils {
private static boolean isInitialised = false;
private static float pixelsPerOneDp;
// Suppress default constructor for noninstantiability.
private DimensionUtils() {
throw new AssertionError();
}
private static void initialise(View view) {
pixelsPerOneDp = view.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().densityDpi / 160f;
isInitialised = true;
}
public static float pxToDp(View view, float px) {
if (!isInitialised) {
initialise(view);
}
return px / pixelsPerOneDp;
}
public static float dpToPx(View view, float dp) {
if (!isInitialised) {
initialise(view);
}
return dp * pixelsPerOneDp;
}
}
This is how it works for me:
DisplayMetrics displaymetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displaymetrics);
int h = displaymetrics.heightPixels;
float d = displaymetrics.density;
int heightInPixels=(int) (h/d);
You can do the same for the width.
Without Context
, elegant static methods:
public static int dpToPx(int dp)
{
return (int) (dp * Resources.getSystem().getDisplayMetrics().density);
}
public static int pxToDp(int px)
{
return (int) (px / Resources.getSystem().getDisplayMetrics().density);
}
If you can use the dimensions XML it's very simple!
In your res/values/dimens.xml
:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<dimen name="thumbnail_height">120dp</dimen>
...
...
</resources>
Then in your Java:
getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.thumbnail_height);
to convert Pixels to dp use the TypedValue .
As the documentation mentioned : Container for a dynamically typed data value .
and use the applyDimension method :
public static float applyDimension (int unit, float value, DisplayMetrics metrics)
which Converts an unpacked complex data value holding a dimension to its final floating point value like the following :
Resources resource = getResources();
float dp = TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, 69, resource.getDisplayMetrics());
Hope that Helps .
There is a default util in android SDK: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/TypedValue.html
float resultPix = TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP,1,getResources().getDisplayMetrics())
like this:
public class ScreenUtils {
public static float dpToPx(Context context, float dp) {
if (context == null) {
return -1;
}
return dp * context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
}
public static float pxToDp(Context context, float px) {
if (context == null) {
return -1;
}
return px / context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
}
}
dependent on Context, return float value, static method
Probably the best way if you have the dimension inside values/dimen is to get the dimension directly from getDimension() method, it will return you the dimension already converted into pixel value.
context.getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.my_dimension)
Just to better explain this,
getDimension(int resourceId)
will return the dimension already converted to pixel AS A FLOAT.
getDimensionPixelSize(int resourceId)
will return the same but truncated to int, so AS AN INTEGER.
float scaleValue = getContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
int pixels = (int) (dps * scaleValue + 0.5f);
For DP to Pixel
Create a value in dimens.xml
<dimen name="textSize">20dp</dimen>
Get that value in pixel
as:
int sizeInPixel = context.getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.textSize);
public static int dp2px(Resources resource, int dp) {
return (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, dp,resource.getDisplayMetrics());
}
To convert pixel to dp. public static float px2dp(Resources resource, float px) {
return (float) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_PX, px,resource.getDisplayMetrics());
}
where resource is context.getResources().
A lot of great solutions above. However, the best solution I found is google's design:
This workds for me (C#):
int pixels = (int)((dp) * Resources.System.DisplayMetrics.Density + 0.5f);
You can use this .. without Context
public static int pxToDp(int px) {
return (int) (px / Resources.getSystem().getDisplayMetrics().density);
}
public static int dpToPx(int dp) {
return (int) (dp * Resources.getSystem().getDisplayMetrics().density);
}
As @Stan mentioned .. using this approach may cause issue if system changes density. So be aware of that!
Personally I am using Context to do that.
More elegant approach using kotlin's extension function
/**
* Converts dp to pixel
*/
val Int.dpToPx: Int get() = (this * Resources.getSystem().displayMetrics.density).toInt()
/**
* Converts pixel to dp
*/
val Int.pxToDp: Int get() = (this / Resources.getSystem().displayMetrics.density).toInt()
Usage:
println("16 dp in pixel: ${16.dpToPx}")
println("16 px in dp: ${16.pxToDp}")
For anyone using Kotlin:
val Int.toPx: Int
get() = (this * Resources.getSystem().displayMetrics.density).toInt()
val Int.toDp: Int
get() = (this / Resources.getSystem().displayMetrics.density).toInt()
Usage:
64.toPx
32.toDp
If you want Integer values then using Math.round() will round the float to the nearest integer.
public static int pxFromDp(final float dp) {
return Math.round(dp * Resources.getSystem().getDisplayMetrics().density);
}
This should give you the conversion dp to pixels:
public static int dpToPx(int dp)
{
return (int) (dp * Resources.getSystem().getDisplayMetrics().density);
}
This should give you the conversion pixels to dp:
public static int pxToDp(int px)
{
return (int) (px / Resources.getSystem().getDisplayMetrics().density);
}
((MyviewHolder) holder).videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
@Override
public void onPrepared(final MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) {
mediaPlayer.setLooping(true);
((MyviewHolder) holder).spinnerView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
mediaPlayer.setOnVideoSizeChangedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnVideoSizeChangedListener() {
@Override
public void onVideoSizeChanged(MediaPlayer mp, int width, int height) {
/*

*/
MediaController controller = new MediaController(mContext);
float density = mContext.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
float px = 55 * density;
// float dp = somePxValue / density;
controller.setPadding(0, 0, 0, (int) (px));
((MyviewHolder) holder).videoView.setMediaController(controller);
}
});
}
});

For Xamarin.Android
float DpToPixel(float dp)
{
var resources = Context.Resources;
var metrics = resources.DisplayMetrics;
return dp * ((float)metrics.DensityDpi / (int)DisplayMetricsDensity.Default);
}
Making this a non-static is necessary when you're making a custom renderer
fun convertDpToPixel(dp: Float, context: Context): Float {
return dp * (context.resources.displayMetrics.densityDpi.toFloat() / DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEFAULT)
}
fun convertPixelsToDp(px: Float, context: Context): Float {
return px / (context.resources.displayMetrics.densityDpi.toFloat() / DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEFAULT)
}
public static float convertDpToPixel(float dp, Context context) {
return dp * ((float) context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().densityDpi / DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEFAULT);
}
public static float convertPixelsToDp(float px, Context context) {
return px / ((float) context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().densityDpi / DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEFAULT);
}
kotlin
fun spToPx(ctx: Context, sp: Float): Float {
return sp * ctx.resources.displayMetrics.scaledDensity
}
fun pxToDp(context: Context, px: Float): Float {
return px / context.resources.displayMetrics.density
}
fun dpToPx(context: Context, dp: Float): Float {
return dp * context.resources.displayMetrics.density
}
java
public static float spToPx(Context ctx,float sp){
return sp * ctx.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().scaledDensity;
}
public static float pxToDp(final Context context, final float px) {
return px / context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
}
public static float dpToPx(final Context context, final float dp) {
return dp * context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
}
