public static intcomplexToDimensionPixelOffset(int data, DisplayMetrics metrics)
Converts a complex data value holding a dimension to its final value as an integer pixel offset. This is the same as {@link #complexToDimension}, except the raw floating point value is truncated to an integer (pixel) value. The given data must be structured as a {@link #TYPE_DIMENSION}.
