I only want a TextView to be "12sp" if the screen has a pixel density of hdpi or less. Otherwise, I want the TextSize to be defined by Android Studio, as it usually happens when the attribute textSize is not defined specifically. How do I do that?

Currently, I have a dimens.xml file in values-hdpi with the code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <dimen name="text_size">12sp</dimen>
<resources>

this is in the relevant TextView in my XML file:

<TextView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="@string/version_text"
    android:textSize="@dimen/text_size">

Currently, the TextView in all screen dimensions has the size 12sp

You can specify size in dimen.xml file density wise. – Chirag Savsani May 23 '18 at 10:12
But wouldn't that still apply to all screen dimensions, rather than those of a screen dimension and less? – Nicolae Stroncea May 23 '18 at 10:15
as per your requirement- you need to check programmatically refer this link - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5099550/how-to-check-an-android-device-is-hdpi-screen-or-mdpi-screen – Adil May 23 '18 at 10:19
