Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of using density-independent pixels (dp) when defining UI layout?

  • To ensure the layout adapts to the actual pixels on the screen.
  • To optimize the UI for high-density screens.
  • To express layout dimensions or position in a resolution-independent way. (correct)
  • To ensure the layout looks the same on all screen sizes and resolutions.
  • What is the relationship between pixels and density-independent pixels (dp)?

  • The conversion factor from dp to pixels is 5.
  • The number of pixels is always equal to the number of dp.
  • 1 dp = 1 pixel on a 160 dpi screen. (correct)
  • Pixels and dp are interchangeable units in UI design.
  • What is the significance of using density-independent pixels (dp) in UI design?

  • Adapts the UI to the physical size of the screen.
  • Allows direct manipulation of actual pixels on the screen.
  • Optimizes UI for low-density screens.
  • Ensures consistent UI across different screen sizes and resolutions. (correct)
