Hey Android peeps.

I'm unclear on this.

When I'm working with, say, a Canvas, are there any device-independent pixel density (like iOS does for retina displays) or is everything in actual pixels?

Is it possible to scale a view in Android? If so, how?

For those of you familiar with iOS, I'm asking about something similiar to self.layer.transform = [3d matrix], although just a 2D transform will be sufficient.

I googled around, and a few people asked this question only to get "Did you try just setting the width/height?" which is NOT what I'm looking for.

Any recommendations on a cheap device for Android app testing? Cell service is not needed.

If I have, say, a game in Xamarin, is this the right way to get the location to store saves etc?

code:
Android.OS.Environment.GetExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Android.OS.Environment.DirectoryDocuments).Path
Do I need any special permissions for that?

Okay actual question.

For those of you doing active Android projects here, I'm wondering if you have any suggestions for places that will test your app on a variety of devices at a reasonable price?
