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

Just use the function below that returns width and height of the screen size as an array of integers

private int[] getScreenSIze(){
        DisplayMetrics displaymetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
        getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displaymetrics);
        int h = displaymetrics.heightPixels;
        int w = displaymetrics.widthPixels;

        int[] size={w,h};
        return size;

    }

On your onCreate function or button click add the following code to output the screen sizes as shown below

 int[] screenSize= getScreenSIze();
        int width=screenSize[0];
        int height=screenSize[1];
        screenSizes.setText("Phone Screen sizes \n\n  width = "+width+" \n Height = "+height);

None of the answers here work correctly for Chrome OS multiple displays, or soon-to-come Foldables.

When looking for the current configuration, always use the configuration from your current activity in getResources().getConfiguration(). Do not use the configuration from your background activity or the one from the system resource. The background activity does not have a size, and the system's configuration may contain multiple windows with conflicting sizes and orientations, so no usable data can be extracted.

So the answer is

val config = context.getResources().getConfiguration()
val (screenWidthPx, screenHeightPx) = config.screenWidthDp.dp to config.screenHeightDp.dp

I updated answer for Kotlin language!

For Kotlin: You should call Window Manager and get metrics. After that easy way.

val displayMetrics = DisplayMetrics()
windowManager.defaultDisplay.getMetrics(displayMetrics)

var width = displayMetrics.widthPixels
var height = displayMetrics.heightPixels

How can we use it effectively in independent activity way with Kotlin language?

Here, I created a method in general Kotlin class. You can use it in all activities.

private val T_GET_SCREEN_WIDTH:String = "screen_width"
private val T_GET_SCREEN_HEIGHT:String = "screen_height"

private fun getDeviceSizes(activity:Activity, whichSize:String):Int{

    val displayMetrics = DisplayMetrics()
    activity.windowManager.defaultDisplay.getMetrics(displayMetrics)

    return when (whichSize){
        T_GET_SCREEN_WIDTH -> displayMetrics.widthPixels
        T_GET_SCREEN_HEIGHT -> displayMetrics.heightPixels
        else -> 0 // Error
    }
}

Just to update the answer by parag and SpK to align with current SDK backward compatibility from deprecated methods:

int Measuredwidth = 0;  
int Measuredheight = 0;  
Point size = new Point();
WindowManager w = getWindowManager();

if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)    {
    w.getDefaultDisplay().getSize(size);
    Measuredwidth = size.x;
    Measuredheight = size.y; 
}else{
    Display d = w.getDefaultDisplay(); 
    Measuredwidth = d.getWidth(); 
    Measuredheight = d.getHeight(); 
}

Answer 5

Why not

DisplayMetrics displaymetrics = getResources().getDisplayMetrics();

then use

displayMetrics.widthPixels (heightPixels)

Answer 6

Screen resolution is total no of pixel in screen. Following program will extract the screen resolution of the device. It will print screen width and height. Those values are in pixel.

public static Point getScreenResolution(Context context) {
// get window managers
WindowManager manager =  (WindowManager)context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
Display display = manager.getDefaultDisplay();
Point point = new Point();
display.getSize(point);

 // get width and height
 int width = point.x;
 int height = point.y;

 return point;

}
