    I have a question. When developing a professional android application we should always use DIPz and convert them to pixels?

    Do we have to do this conversion even if we have a 25 API version?

    Why android does not have built in DIP to Pixel conversion functions :-/

    Should have made examples of using PX and DP before teaching this. Very confusing.

    Simply use below code.

    username.setWidth(200);

    if you are using min API>15 and Android Studio 2.2
    no need of conversion.

    To all you who wants to get a clear view of his source code, replace the "watch?v=" above with an "embed/". It'll be a full screen version BUT only within the browser area. Really helpful if you're going along with him like me haha

    if you don't have any issues with the width covering the full area horizontally. I would prefer this. RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,
    this will automatically cover all the available width in any android device. So we just won't need any conversions.

    Okay, I know Java.
    Still though, I have no idea how to keep up with all of these android commands, what they are, or how to use the syntax for them.

    How do all of you keep up with this? Is there like a sheet list that shows all the commands you can do in android? This is way too much to memorize.

    ApplyDimension

    float applyDimension (int unit,
    float value,
    DisplayMetrics metrics)

    Converts an unpacked complex data value holding a dimension to its final floating point value. The two parameters unit and value are as in TYPE_DIMENSION.

    Parameters
    unit int: The unit to convert from.
    value float: The value to apply the unit to.
    metrics DisplayMetrics: Current display metrics to use in the conversion — supplies display density and scaling information.

    Java programming is too complicated. Why don't they make a "wrapper" to make it simpler to code? God damn it!
