Difference between android dimension: pt and dp

Question

The documentation says that 160 dp (density-independent) equals 1 inch. And 72 pt is also 1 inch. So I don\'t see why android define a dp measurement while it seems to work

Answer 1

1 dp will always equal 1/160 in, regardless of screen density.

This is not true as shown by your application... Agree?
