Google assumes we are all working in java where the density is abstracted into 4 common plus a couple of less common density groups. LiveCode doesn't do that abstraction for us so we get the actual pixels on screen.
The DisplayMetrics class has a density property which gives you the abstracted density that a java dev might want. However it also has xdpi and ydpi if you need it (which we do). http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/DisplayMetrics.html Cheers -- M E R Goulding Software development services mergExt - There's an external for that!
