Xamarin form: How to find out the android device's size bucket e.g small, medium etc

Question

Trying to create a new android device from Xamarin IDE. I try to create a simulator with the similar spec as Galaxy Tab S2. How do I find out the Size bucket of that device, the screen ratio, and density.

Answer 1

Via Android Central (which will typically have the resolution and screen size specs for most devices).

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 .... with the 8-inch version ... and the 9.7-inch version getting a weight of 389 g. Both versions have a Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 2048x1536.

Via Android's Screen sizes :

So,

• Resolution of: 2048 x 1536 for either size

• DPI of : 256 for 8", 211 for 9.7"

• Size: xlarge

Which places one device in mdpi and one in hdpi based resources.

mdpi: Resources for medium-density (mdpi) screens (~160dpi). (This is the baseline density.) hdpi: Resources for high-density (hdpi) screens (~240dpi).
