The RuntimeDPIProvider class provides the default mapping of similar device DPI values into predefined DPI classes. An Application may have its runtimeDPIProvider property set to a subclass of RuntimeDPIProvider to override Flex's default mappings. Overriding Flex's default mappings will cause changes in the Application's automatic scaling behavior.

Overriding Flex's default mappings is usually only necessary for devices that incorrectly report their screenDPI and for devices that may scale better in a different DPI class.

Flex's default mappings are:

160 DPI<200 DPI
240 DPI>=200 DPI and <280 DPI
320 DPI>=280 DPI

Subclasses of RuntimeDPIProvider should only depend on runtime APIs and should not depend on any classes specific to the Flex framework except mx.core.DPIClassification.

Runtime Versions : Flash Player 10, AIR 2.5

Returns the runtime DPI of the current device by mapping its flash.system.Capabilities.screenDPI to one of several DPI values in mx.core.DPIClassification. A number of devices can have slightly different DPI values and Flex maps these into the several DPI classes. Flex uses this method to calculate the current DPI value when an Application authored for a specific DPI is adapted to the current one through scaling.
