Density independence
Your application achieves “density independence” when it preserves the
physical size (from the user’s point of view) of user interface
elements when displayed on screens with different densities.
Maintaining density independence is important because, without it, a
UI element (such as a button) appears physically larger on a
low-density screen and smaller on a high-density screen. Such
density-related size changes can cause problems in your application
layout and usability. Figures 2 and 3 show the difference between an
application when it does not provide density independence and when it
does, respectively.
