How to know screen uses 320-hdpi or 320-mdpi in Android

I want to know in my code whether my device uses 320-hdpi or 320-mdpi resources. Is it possible?

I gone through some examples like this but it gives me generic density pixels (like mdpi, ldpi and hdpi). But I want to know exactly which resource data is used by my device. Whether it is 320-hdpi, 320-mdpi or 320-ldpi.

Thank you in advance.

I think you can use DisplayMetrics class for this.

Use following code to get display metrics.

DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);

Then you can obtain desity by metrics.desity

If the density is 1 than mdpi resources will be use. If its less than 1 then ldpi resources will be used. If its 1.5 than hdpi resources will be used. If its 2 than xhdpi resources will be used.

From your Activity try...

DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);

You can then look at the various fields of metrics to find out physical and dpi characteristics of the display.

See DisplayMetrics documentation.

You can install this app on your device

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roysolberg.android.developertools

Go to "Resource Qualifiers", it will give you all information such as your device screen size (normal, large, xlarge) and screen density (ldpi, mdpi, hdpi,...)
