Core Concepts

1. Fixed (FX) Scaling - Logarithmic

Philosophy: Subtle, refined scaling based on logarithmic function

Formula: value * ln(screenDimension / baseScreenDimension)

Use Cases:

  • Button sizes
  • Padding and margins
  • Icon sizes
  • Borders and strokes

Characteristics:

  • Smaller changes on smaller screens
  • Larger changes on larger screens
  • Natural, refined appearance
  • Ideal for UI elements that shouldn't scale too much

Example:

val padding = 16.fxdp  // Subtle scaling
val buttonSize = 48.fxdp

2. Dynamic (DY) Scaling - Proportional

Philosophy: Aggressive, proportional scaling based on screen dimensions

Formula: baseValue * (screenDimension / baseScreenDimension)

Use Cases:

  • Container sizes
  • Grid layouts
  • Fluid fonts
  • Responsive spacing

Characteristics:

  • Linear scaling with screen size
  • Proportional to screen dimensions
  • Aggressive scaling
  • Ideal for layouts that should adapt significantly

Example:

val containerWidth = 100.dydp  // Proportional scaling
val fluidText = 18.dysp

3. SDP/SSP - Pre-calculated Resources

Philosophy: Compile-time calculated, zero runtime overhead

Characteristics:

  • Pre-generated XML resources
  • One value per screen qualifier
  • Fastest at runtime (O(1) lookup)
  • Largest at build time

Use Cases:

  • XML layouts
  • Direct resource references
  • Performance-critical apps
  • Static dimensions

Example:

<View
    android:layout_width="@dimen/_100sdp"
    android:layout_height="@dimen/_56sdp"/>

4. Physical Units (mm/cm/inch)

Purpose: Convert physical measurements to device pixels

Use Cases:

  • Wear OS applications
  • Print-like designs
  • Precision layouts
  • Device-specific measurements

Conversions:

  • mm → Dp/Px/Sp
  • cm → Dp/Px/Sp
  • inch → Dp/Px/Sp
  • Diameter/Circumference calculations

Example:

val marginMm = AppDimensPhysicalUnits.toMm(5f, resources)

5. Conditional Rules

Purpose: Apply different dimensions based on UI mode and screen qualifiers

Hierarchy:

  1. Intersection (UI Mode + Qualifier) - Highest Priority
  2. UI Mode - Medium Priority
  3. Qualifier - Lowest Priority

UI Modes:

  • PHONE (default)
  • WATCH
  • CAR
  • TV

Qualifiers:

  • SMALL_WIDTH (sw < 600dp)
  • MEDIUM_WIDTH (600dp ≤ sw < 720dp)
  • LARGE_WIDTH (sw ≥ 720dp)
  • HEIGHT (similar ranges)

Example:

val boxSize = 80.dynamicDp()
    .screen(UiModeType.WATCH, 40.dp)
    .screen(UiModeType.CAR, 120.dp)
    .screen(DpQualifier.SMALL_WIDTH, 600, 80.dp)

Example 3: Device-Specific UI

@Composable
fun DeviceSpecificUI() {
    val titleSize = 24.scaledSp()
        .screen(UiModeType.WATCH, 16.sp)
        .screen(UiModeType.CAR, 32.sp)
        .screen(UiModeType.TV, 48.sp)

    val contentPadding = 16.scaledDp()
        .screen(UiModeType.WATCH, 8.dp)
        .screen(UiModeType.CAR, 24.dp)

    Column(
        modifier = Modifier
            .fillMaxSize()
            .padding(contentPadding)
    ) {
        Text(
            text = "Device-Specific UI",
            fontSize = titleSize
        )
    }
}

Performance Optimization Tips

  1. Cache Calculated Values

    val padding = 16.fxdp  // Calculate once
    Box(modifier = Modifier.padding(padding))
  2. Use SDP/SSP for Static Dimensions

    <View android:layout_width="@dimen/_100sdp"/>
  3. Limit Conditional Rules (< 20 per dimension)

    val size = 100.dydp()
        .screen(UiModeType.WATCH, 50.dp)
        .screen(UiModeType.CAR, 120.dp)
  4. Avoid Recalculation in Loops

    // ❌ Bad
    LazyColumn {
        items(100) { Box(modifier = Modifier.size(100.dydp)) }
    }
    
    // ✅ Good
    val itemSize = 100.dydp
    LazyColumn {
        items(100) { Box(modifier = Modifier.size(itemSize)) }
    }

  • Jobs: Build and Test
  • Artifacts: AAR libraries

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue 1: Dimensions not scaling on certain devices

Solution:

  • Verify ScreenType is correct (LOWEST vs HIGHEST)
  • Check if device is in multi-window mode
  • Use ignoreMultiViewAdjustment if needed

Issue 2: SDP/SSP resources not found

Solution:

  • Ensure module is included in build.gradle
  • Clean and rebuild: ./gradlew clean build
  • Check resource qualifiers are correct

Issue 3: Performance issues with many rules

Solution:

  • Limit conditional rules to < 20 per dimension
  • Use SDP/SSP for static dimensions
  • Cache calculated values

Issue 4: Compose preview not showing dimensions

Solution:

  • Ensure Compose preview has access to Resources
  • Use LocalConfiguration for screen info
  • Check preview device configuration

Debug Tips

// Log calculated values
val size = 100.dydp
Log.d("AppDimens", "Calculated size: $size")

// Check screen info
val config = resources.configuration
Log.d("AppDimens", "Screen: ${config.screenWidthDp}x${config.screenHeightDp}")

// Verify UI mode
val uiMode = UiModeType.fromConfiguration(config.uiMode)
Log.d("AppDimens", "UI Mode: $uiMode")
