【Android】屏幕尺寸的表示

1. 单位

- px(pixel): 普通的像素点描述，位图中的一个颜色点（RGBA或者YUV）

- dip(device independent pixels): 设备独立像素。

- dp: 与dip一样。

- pt(point): 标准长度单位。1pt = 1.0 / 72 (in)。

- sp(scaled pixel): 用于字体显示。

- in(inch): 英寸

- mm(millimeter): 毫米

2. 屏幕密度

屏幕类型	宽度(pixels)	高度(pixels)	尺寸(inches)	屏幕密度
QVGA	240	320	2.6 - 3.0	low
WQVGA	240	400	3.2 - 3.5	low
FWQVGA	240	432	3.5 - 3.8	low
HVGA	320	480	3.0 - 3.5	medium
WVGA	480	800	3.3 - 4.0	high
FWVGA	480	854	3.5 - 4.0	high
WVGA	480	800	4.8 - 5.5	medium
FWVGA	480	854	5.0 - 5.8	medium

默认屏幕密度：low = 120; medium = 160; high = 240
