I have some complex graphics to draw using Canvas but I am confused by the documentation.
I can get the size of the screen using getResources().getDisplayMetrics() and looking at widthPixels and heightPixels. For my AVD this is 1250x800. I can also check this in my onDraw() method by using Canvas.getWidth() and Canvas.getHeight() and these return the same results. I split the screen into two parts by a vertical divide at 1066 so my left side should have 1066 pixels width. However, if I draw a test line with marks at every 100 pixels I can see that using an x value of 800 in, say, Canvas.drawLines(...) I am at the vertical divide (which should be pixel value 1066). How is this possible? I don't see anything in the documentation for Canvas methods to say that the parameters are dp units so I assume they are physical pixels. Is that correct? My AVD density is 240. If the Canvas methods do use dp, is it possible to draw using physical pixels? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
