AFAIK there is no way you could be sure that you are in front of a table
or a phone (or a TV). Bear in mind that in the future there may be even
other different device types.
You better rely on screen density and/or resolution to calculate the
font size. That's what I do on my last casual game -still unpublished-.
So, if you use a size of 10 for an screen that is 800 pixels height, you
may use a size of 20 for an screen that is 1600 pixels height.
So you can do something like:
realFontSize = (getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight() * 10)
/ 800
Anyway I think it should be a more straightforward native way to do this
in most cases using dp or so, but I am not sure about.
Hope a more advanced Android developer could give you a better answer,
but in the meantime you can use that code as a workaround.
