If you need to know the resolution type ldpi, mdpi, hdpi or xhdpi or want to set positions and sizes in dp instead of px I would recommend using a class I wrote some time ago: DisplayMetricsUtil

Get the resolution type:

 ResolutionType res = DisplayMetricsUtil.GetResolutionType();

Set a width of 100 dp and convert it to px:

 float width = 100f.DpToPixel();

ScreenSize in dp:

 Rect screenSizeDp = DisplayMetricsUtil.ScreenSizeDpUnit();

I'd used both but are not sufficient.

screeWidthInInches = (Screen.width / Screen.dpi); But ins$$anonymous$$d it gives "infinity" is should be like this float screenWidth = dm.widthPixels / dm.xdpi; float screenHeight = dm.heightPixels / dm.ydpi; double size = $$anonymous$$ath.sqrt($$anonymous$$ath.pow(screenWidth, 2) + $$anonymous$$ath.pow(screenHeight, 2));
