How to set unit for Paint.setTextSize()

Question

Is it possible to change the unit for Paint.setTextSize()? As far as I know, it\'s pixel but I like to set the text size in DIP for multiple screen support.

Answer 1

I know this topic is old and already answered but I would like to also suggest this piece of code:

int MY_DIP_VALUE = 5; //5dp

int pixel= (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP,
                              MY_DIP_VALUE, getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
