The strange thing is that a 5.3 inch and a 10 inch screen with the same screen density (800x1250) have a compete different view of the layout.
I have a layout with a lot of 77x160dp icons. On the 5.3 inch screen is see 2.5 icons and on the 10 inch screen i see 5 icons next to each other (portrait mode) Why i do see only 2.5 icons on the 5.3 inch screen?
