Mobile Design in the Weeds @MobdUP
From The Mobile Design Uprising (http://mobdup.com) Conference at San Diego State University -- Video of this talk (with these slides interwoven) is available at http://bit.ly/mobdupweeds -- From when the Apple AppStore first launched back in 2008, we have had the official HIG (Human Interface Guidelines, http://bit.ly/higapple) for mobile apps. It told us what to do to ensure that your app would not only pass Apple screeners to be on the AppStore, but also what really makes a killer app -- so killer that Apple would think about featuring it. But what gems are hidden in the HIG? It is after all a daunting 219 pages. Do you know the mistake 95% of companies make in regards to the launch image (aka "splash screen") in iOS apps)? Do you know exactly how many icons and how many pixels in dimension need to be provided just to submit an app? In the last year, Google has published their version of the HIG, called Android Design http://developer.android.com/design, that goes a long way towards taming the "wild west" of Android apps. Is it enough? What's a "dp" (density-independent pixel) and what does that mean for the actual pixels of assets I need to submit to Google Play for my app? -- Besides all of that, what even makes a good mobile icon? What metaphor should I use for navigating through my app? Can I design the next Instagram for Video superstar app? Get the answers to all of these questions and more at the "Mobile Design in the Weeds" workshop at Mob'd Up with @philohme. -- 27 July 2013

- 19. @philohme mobilemojitos.com What the heck is “dp” though? • Density-independent pixel (dp) • A virtual pixel unit that you should use when defining UI layout, to express layout dimensions or position in a density-independent way. • The density-independent pixel is equivalent to one physical pixel on a 160 dpi screen, which is the baseline density assumed by the system for a "medium" density screen. At runtime, the system transparently handles any scaling of the dp units, as necessary, based on the actual density of the screen in use. The conversion of dp units to screen pixels is simple: px = dp * (dpi / 160). For example, on a 240 dpi screen, 1 dp equals 1.5 physical pixels. You should always use dp units when defining your application's UI, to ensure proper display of your UI on screens with different densities. 19
- 20. @philohme mobilemojitos.com but why? • To make objects appear roughly the same size on various screen sizes • A set of four generalized sizes: small, normal, large, xlarge • A set of four generalized densities: ldpi (low), mdpi (medium), hdpi (high), xhdpi (extra high) • Illustration of how Android roughly maps actual sizes and densities to generalized sizes and densities (figures are not exact): 20 http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
