Thanks, Mark. That seems to work. I'm using this:
float pixels_per_X_inch = displayMetrics.xdpi;
float pixels_per_Y_inch = displayMetrics.ydpi;
if(Build.DEVICE.equals("sholes") && Build.MODEL.equals("Droid"))
{
pixels_per_X_inch = 264; // 480/(9*3.7/sqrt(337)) = 264.613474
pixels_per_Y_inch = 264; // 854/(16*3.7/sqrt(337)) = 264.820203
}
The 3.7 is the diagonal of the screen in inches (from the device
specification). It's supposed to be a 16:9 display with a resolution
of 480x854. If somebody knows for certain what the device should
return for the xdpi/ydpi, please, post it. I'm sure that 3.7 inches
is not exact, so maybe I'm off by a few pixels, but for sizing my
tiles to 1 cm it works quite well.
