Convert dip to px in Android

Question

I had written method to get the pixels from dip but it is not working. It give me runtime error.

Actually I was running this method in separate class and initialized

Answer 1

The formula is: px = dp * (dpi / 160), for having on a 160 dpi screen. See http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html for more information.

You could try:

public static int convertDipToPixels(float dips)
{
    return (int) (dips * appContext.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density + 0.5f);
}

Hope this helps...
