Since dip stands for "device independent pixels", is there a standard number of dip for every android device out there?

Example: if a hdpi device has X dp/width and Y dp/height, does a ldpi device have the same values? Namely X and Y?

If so, can anyone tell me the exact numbers?

Thanks in advance.

No, but this is how you roughly maps actual sizes and densities to generalized sizes and densities.

  • xlarge screens are at least 960dp x 720dp
  • large screens are at least 640dp x 480dp
  • normal screens are at least 470dp x 320dp
  • small screens are at least 426dp x 320dp

  • So what size corresponds to what device form factor? For example, which size corresponds to phones? None of those sizes are portrait... – Francisco Aguilera Apr 26 '16 at 15:19
  • So work with 320dp full width-portrait (MDPI)? I use this calc https://pixplicity.com/dp-px-converter `ldpi = 240px | mdpi = 320px | hdpi = 480px | xhdpi = 640px | xxhdpi = 960px | xxxhdpi = 1280px` – Pierre Nov 07 '18 at 08:18
