What is the method for general screen resolution?

Question

I have a problem with overlapping views on other test phones.

The way I figured out is to get dpScale and set the size again when the view is drawn.

But I guess that this way has the performance problem.

What is a general development method that changes the size of the view according to the screen resolution?

I think that the common way is not to do that manually, but use different resources for different conditions. — Vladyslav Matviienko, Feb 07 '18 at 09:01
@VladMatvienko Are you saying that setting a different dp value for each dpi in a resource folder such as "value"? — Selena Lee, Feb 07 '18 at 09:06
I can't write only 1 word in the comment, so I had to add this. Right. — Vladyslav Matviienko, Feb 07 '18 at 09:08
Another approach is to use constraints between views and not specify absolute sizes at all. — Henry, Feb 07 '18 at 09:12
@Henry What is the "use constraints between views"? Could you explain in detail? — Selena Lee, Feb 07 '18 at 09:19
@SelenaLee have a look at RelativeLayout or ConstraintLayout in the documentation. — Henry, Feb 07 '18 at 09:22
In Android, we rely on screen **densities**, rather than on screen **resolutions**. That's why we use **dp**s instead of **px**s. — Phantômaxx, Feb 07 '18 at 10:21

you need to define margin/padding in values folder like 360dp, 720dp 
For image use vector asset.

please edit your answer to format only `code` parts as code, not whole answer – Vladyslav Matviienko Feb 07 '18 at 09:50
