[android-developers] Re: How to calculate a tablets resolution before purchasing the tablet

2014-04-15 Thread Simon Giddings
The effort I made did not reveal this result and it certainly does not 
answer the question !

My question was more general, if you hadn't noticed.
Given that most tablets will give a horizontal and vertical pixel size as 
well as a diagonal size in inches, is it possible to determine the density 
bucket (to use googles term) ie: MDPI or HDPI or XHDPI, etc

From what you have managed to find, this device would appear to fall 
between two buckets - HDPI and XHDPI because
- HDPI screens are ~240dpi
- XHDPI screens are ~320dpi
(according to Supporting Multiple 
Screenshttp://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
)

So the question remains open

 Googling the exact phrase Toshiba eXcite Pro AT10LE-A-10D screen DPI

 At least give it an effort.

 I haven't been able to find any form of developer support on the toshiba 
 web site, which could have helped.

You can search for/make an app that detects the bucket and install it, if
you have access to the device. A quick search gives me
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pmc.android.checkscreensize,
but there are plenty.
Otherwise, as far as I can recall it depends on the manufacturer's decision
which bucket it takes. So no, you can't calculate the bucket given the
physical screen size and dpi specs.
