Android Question Samsung ZFold-7 Screen Density - CAN it be changed on fly by my program

[Robert Valentino]

When I got my phone my app worked fine just needed a few tweaks but on my wife's (same phone) looked like crap.

So I ran adb shell wm density on both devices and on my device it came back
Physical density: 420
Override density: 526

and on my wife's device it came back Physical density: 420 after I did a
adb shell wm density 526 on my wife's device everything look the same as mine

Attached find two screen shots showing the difference

I don't know how or why (both these are unlocked phones) the settings got different.
But I am sure a few of my users might have the problem.

Is there anyway I can change the device density on the fly and change it back when I end?

The layout shouldn't be affected by the density. You do need to make sure to use 'dip' units whenever you are referring to the screen pixels.

I am sure I am using dip - this was suppose to be a nice relaxing weekend. A lot of crap when wrong (nothing to do with programming). As soon I sort things out I will make a small example. Thanks for trying to help
