In most cases (such as using bitmaps in * {@link android.graphics.drawable.Drawable}) the platform * can perform this scaling at load time, so the only cost is some slight * startup runtime overhead. * *

This value does not exactly follow the real screen size (as given by * {@link #xdpi} and {@link #ydpi}, but rather is used to scale the size of * the overall UI in steps based on gross changes in the display dpi.
