Get the screen height in Android

Question

How can I get the available height of the screen in Android? I need to the height minus the status bar / menu bar or any other decorations that might be on screen and I need it

Answer 1

How about setting up a subclassed View as the root of the Activity. Make this View fill the screen (it won't go past the status bar) and override onSizeChanged(). Store those values and write a getter for them.
