Height of status bar in Android [duplicate]

Answer 1

To solve this, I used a combination approach. This is necessary as on tablets the system bar already subtracts it's pixels when display.getHeight() is called. So I first check if a system bar is present, and then Ben Claytons approach, which works fine on phones.

public int getStatusBarHeight() {
    int statusBarHeight = 0;

    if (!hasOnScreenSystemBar()) {
        int resourceId = getResources().getIdentifier("status_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
        if (resourceId > 0) {
            statusBarHeight = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId);
        }
    }

    return statusBarHeight;
}

private boolean hasOnScreenSystemBar() {
    Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
    int rawDisplayHeight = 0;
    try {
        Method getRawHeight = Display.class.getMethod("getRawHeight");
        rawDisplayHeight = (Integer) getRawHeight.invoke(display);
    } catch (Exception ex) {
    }

    int UIRequestedHeight = display.getHeight();

    return rawDisplayHeight - UIRequestedHeight > 0;
}
