Density for 1080x1920 is not correct

[Johnmcenroy]

I am testing my application on emulator 1080x1920 5" (Official Sony Z definition) and also 1080x1920 5" (Based on Sony Z profile - Galaxy S4).

Sub Process_Globals
  Dim ScreenDensity As Float : ScreenDensity = Density
End Sub

Then in Activity_Create I call:

Log(ScreenDensity)

So i get:
240x320 - 0.75 (ScreenDensity)
320x480 - 1
480x800 - 1.5
720x1280 - 2

So all is fine but for 1080x1920 i get also 2 and it must be 3 , dpi is 480
What is wrong ?

Thanks

So in logs i have:
1080 x 1920, scale = 2.0 (320 dpi)
But Google's AVD says that 4.9" or 5" 1080x1920 is 480dpi (xxhdpi) and for 4.9" or 5" 720x1280 is 320dpi (xhdpi)

That value is what Android is reporting from context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density so it is the tablet or emulator that is getting it wrong, if indeed it is wrong and not intentional.

Thanks Agraham for reply. So how i understood on real device such as Galaxy S4 it must be correct ?

Theoretically, yes, on a real device it will display correctly.
