density field specifies the scale factor used to convert dp units to pixels, according to the current pixel density. On a medium-density screen, DisplayMetrics. density equals 1.0; on a high-density screen it equals 1.5; on an extra-high-density screen, it equals 2.0; and on a low-density screen, it equals 0.75.
