The golden grid of Holo

While doing layouts for Android apps I noticed something Paul Burke said:

I’d argue that 8dp is really the golden grid. Most of the (Holo) padding/margins are 8, 16, 24, and 32. I guess it’s a matter of preference, but i use 8dp. :-)

I find this to be a good guideline.

Also, about touch targets Roman posted this Google+ post. Keep ’em 48dp.
