Get screen width and height in Android

Question

How can I get the screen width and height and use this value in:

@Override protected void onMeasure(int widthSpecId, int heightSpecId) {
    Log.e(TAG, \"onM         


        

Answer 1

Full way to do it, that returns the true resolution:

            WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
            Point size = new Point();
            wm.getDefaultDisplay().getRealSize(size);
            final int width = size.x, height = size.y;

And since this can change on different orientation, here's a solution (in Kotlin), to get it right no matter the orientation:

/**
 * returns the natural orientation of the device: Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE or Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT .<br></br>
 * The result should be consistent no matter the orientation of the device
 */
@JvmStatic
fun getScreenNaturalOrientation(context: Context): Int {
    //based on : http://stackoverflow.com/a/9888357/878126
    val windowManager = context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE) as WindowManager
    val config = context.resources.configuration
    val rotation = windowManager.defaultDisplay.rotation
    return if ((rotation == Surface.ROTATION_0 || rotation == Surface.ROTATION_180) && config.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE || (rotation == Surface.ROTATION_90 || rotation == Surface.ROTATION_270) && config.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT)
        Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE
    else
        Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT
}

/**
 * returns the natural screen size (in pixels). The result should be consistent no matter the orientation of the device
 */
@JvmStatic
fun getScreenNaturalSize(context: Context): Point {
    val screenNaturalOrientation = getScreenNaturalOrientation(context)
    val wm = context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE) as WindowManager
    val point = Point()
    wm.defaultDisplay.getRealSize(point)
    val currentOrientation = context.resources.configuration.orientation
    if (currentOrientation == screenNaturalOrientation)
        return point
    else return Point(point.y, point.x)
}

Two steps. First, extend Activity class

class Example extends Activity

Second: Use this code

 DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
 WindowManager windowmanager = (WindowManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
 windowmanager.getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displayMetrics);
 int deviceWidth = displayMetrics.widthPixels;
 int deviceHeight = displayMetrics.heightPixels;

       @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(Drawable result) {
            Log.d("width",""+result.getIntrinsicWidth());
            urlDrawable.setBounds(0, 0, 0+result.getIntrinsicWidth(), 600);

            // change the reference of the current drawable to the result
            // from the HTTP call
            urlDrawable.drawable = result;

            // redraw the image by invalidating the container
            URLImageParser.this.container.invalidate();

            // For ICS
            URLImageParser.this.container.setHeight((400+URLImageParser.this.container.getHeight()
                    + result.getIntrinsicHeight()));

            // Pre ICS`enter code here`
            URLImageParser.this.container.setEllipsize(null);
        }

Using this code, you can get the runtime display's width & height:

DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displayMetrics);
int height = displayMetrics.heightPixels;
int width = displayMetrics.widthPixels;

---

In a view you need to do something like this:

((Activity) getContext()).getWindowManager()
                         .getDefaultDisplay()
                         .getMetrics(displayMetrics);

---

In some scenarios, where devices have a navigation bar, you have to check at runtime:

public boolean showNavigationBar(Resources resources)
{
    int id = resources.getIdentifier("config_showNavigationBar", "bool", "android");
    return id > 0 && resources.getBoolean(id);
}

If the device has a navigation bar, then count its height:

private int getNavigationBarHeight() {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
        DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
        getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);
        int usableHeight = metrics.heightPixels;
        getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRealMetrics(metrics);
        int realHeight = metrics.heightPixels;
        if (realHeight > usableHeight)
            return realHeight - usableHeight;
        else
            return 0;
    }
    return 0;
}

So the final height of the device is:

int height = displayMetrics.heightPixels + getNavigationBarHeight();

Answer 5

DisplayMetrics dimension = new DisplayMetrics();
        getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dimension);
        int width = dimension.widthPixels;
        int height = dimension.heightPixels;

• Kotlin Version via Extension Property

If you want to know the size of the screen in pixels as well as dp, using these extension properties really helps:

DimensionUtils.kt

import android.content.res.Resources
import android.graphics.Rect
import android.graphics.RectF
import android.util.DisplayMetrics
import kotlin.math.roundToInt

/**
 * @author aminography
 */

private val displayMetrics: DisplayMetrics by lazy { Resources.getSystem().displayMetrics }

val screenRectPx: Rect
    get() = displayMetrics.run { Rect(0, 0, widthPixels, heightPixels) }

val screenRectDp: RectF
    get() = displayMetrics.run { RectF(0f, 0f, widthPixels.px2dp, heightPixels.px2dp) }

val Number.px2dp: Float
    get() = this.toFloat() / displayMetrics.density

val Number.dp2px: Int
    get() = (this.toFloat() * displayMetrics.density).roundToInt()

Usage:

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        val widthPx = screenRectPx.width()
        val heightPx = screenRectPx.height()
        println("[PX] screen width: $widthPx , height: $heightPx")

        val widthDp = screenRectDp.width()
        val heightDp = screenRectDp.height()
        println("[DP] screen width: $widthDp , height: $heightDp")
    }
}

Result:

When the device is in portrait orientation:

[PX] screen width: 1440 , height: 2392
[DP] screen width: 360.0 , height: 598.0

When the device is in landscape orientation:

[PX] screen width: 2392 , height: 1440
[DP] screen width: 598.0 , height: 360.0
