A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

I’m confused with this. If we have `dp`, device independent pixel, and it’s the same no matter the screen size, why do we need notion of `Density`? why just not use `dp` everywhere? is `Density` just for use cases where we need to draw actual pixels and we need to convert `dp` into `px`? if yes, why not also draw using `dp`?

When it gets to the layout phase, it does need to be converted into pixels. Same for drawing and things like shaders. And things like icons / bitmaps don’t even make sense in the dp-world.
