The DP is the right direction to go, same with the XCode 'point'. I think both still need to be conceptually separated form Pixels further. As for going entirely relative, There are some things that need to be solidified - mainly type treatments - as well as the elements that surround those elements - like padding, margin, and measure.
Well they sorta do. Couldnt read the article because it was only designed for desktop.
They do when they're #f24613 -- my eyes!
Thanks for taking the time to share this. I'd like to hear more about why your devs actually need pixel units specified, instead of implementing a scalable interface based on percentages.
You've done this with the "13.75%" left and right margins -- why not do this for most elements as well (eg, GO button is 14% screen height -- abbrv. as 'sh:14').
