Android Layout Meassurement Values Only Even Numbers? -
i wondering if there conscious intention of using numbers measurement units when building android layouts. example in android desgin guidelines there multiple of 2 being used see, @ least don't remember google ever using 3, 5 or padding/margin, there official reference talking somewhere argument using uneven numbers wrong?
it coincidence material design has numbers dp measurements. can see here not rule, coincidence. typography has examples of odd measurements:
subheading english: regular 16sp (device), 15sp (desktop) dense: regular 17sp (device), 16sp (desktop) tall: regular 17sp (device), 16sp (desktop) generally, sizes increased exponentially rather linearly. or atleast differences between subsequent sizes increases. (because human brains think logarithmically instead of linearly: why in our brains midpoint of 1 , 9 might 3)
like 2dp, 4dp, 8dp, or 160, 240, 320, 480, 640(image scaling)
so if start 2, you'll numbers if start 1 or 5, you'll odd numbers well.
it have been 5, 10, 25, 50.
boostrap has odd measurements:
@padding-small-vertical: 5px; @padding-small-horizontal: 10px; @padding-xs-vertical: 1px; @padding-xs-horizontal: 5px; but here exponential growth visible.
