Android Question How to get view into dip format?

[Levisvv]

I am moving images around a layout, and need the top/left locations to be in dip format, how can I accomplish this when my code is as follows:?

v.Left=(((col-1)*80)+7)
v.Top=(((row-1)*96)+6)

I cannot just add "dip" to the end of each row that gives an error?

Haters gonna hate... I like to add views on my own and I don't "like" to use dip. Why? Because there is a mix between absolute coordinates (with some%x and some%y) and relative "dip" (here I don't know how large the view really is - except I check the absolute coordinates - and then I'm back to x+y). Even when you use texts in a label/edittext. You always have to calculate the size.

Take a look here: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/supporting-multiple-screens-tips-and-best-practices.17647/

You can use:

v.Left = DipToCurrent(((col-1)*80)+7)

This works too:

v.Left = (col - 1) * 80dip + 7dip
