Hi there
According to http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/providing-resources.html, sw480dp means «smallest side of screen must be at least 480 dp». Now dp is a «pixel on a 160 dpi screen», so actual size of e.g. Xperia in dp would be I guess 320 x 569 (provided it's a hdpi device). To get device screen size in dp you need to know abstracted density class (ldpi=120, mdpi=160, hdpi=240, xhdpi=320). For the above Xperia screen the calculation is: (480*160/240) x (854*160/240), where 160 is the base density (it's where 1 dp actually equal to one pixel) and 240 is device abstracted density. By using the above logic it should be sw320dp, But this logic also fails. Thank you.
