Answer 1

yes just create different values folder with different qualifiers like res/values-320x480/ , you can use as mention in this link and link2

Resources res = getResources();
float fontSize = res.getDimension(R.dimen.font_size);

You can use the following:

float yourDimen = getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.your_dimen_name);
