Hi!On build a simple android up when i put the dimensions in file layout:values-dimens.xml goes one text above the other,the only different think have make from the lesson is to write bigger text in the middle.So my question is if let the dp 16 as default (because in these dp is all ok)could be a problem when run the app on android 4.0.3? Hope be understandable! Thanks for any help.

3,687 PointsHi Andrew, thanks for your answer! What i meant is that i would like put a little bigger text in my app than the lesson and the result wasn't good cause of the wrong dp i put,but finally find in next lessons how to fix it.

These units are relative to a 160 dpi screen, so one dp is one pixel on a 160 dpi screen. The ratio of dp-to-pixel will change with the screen density, but not necessarily in direct proportion." ~stackoverflow
I am having a hard time understand what your question is, if you could rephrase it some perhaps I could give you the answer you are looking for!
