Apply correct dimens file for Samsung S8

I try to design a widget and you might know, this is a lot of fun. :) I think I figured it out for most of the devices, but now I have a Samsung Galaxy S8.

I thought it should use the dimens from my xxxhdpi (regarding to the resolution) folder, but it doesn't. It uses sw400dp-xxhdpi. But the dimens for sw400dp-xxhdpi devices does not fit for the S8.

Regarding to the specs it has 360x740dp. So I tried 360x740/dimens.xml and h740dp/dimens.xml none of them are working. It still uses sw400dp.

I might need some other dimens.xml files, is there any easy way to see which device will use which file?

Any ideas?

Its because your math is wrong. The S8 is 2,960×1,440 at 568 dpi. 1440/568*160=405. So its width is greater than 400. Its grabbing the right file. I'm not sure where you got 360 from.

Edit: Were you using the multiplier for your math(1x,2x,3x, etc)? Don't. The actual DPI values are used most of the time.
