Height of status bar in Android [duplicate]

Answer 1

Kotlin version that combines two best solutions

fun getStatusBarHeight(): Int {
    val resourceId = resources.getIdentifier("status_bar_height", "dimen", "android")
    return if (resourceId > 0) resources.getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId)
    else Rect().apply { window.decorView.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(this) }.top
}

1. Takes status_bar_height value if present
2. If status_bar_height is not present, calculates the status bar height from Window decor

Answer 2

Try this:

    Rect rect = new Rect();
    Window win = this.getWindow();
    win.getDecorView().getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(rect);
    int statusBarHeight = rect.top;
    int contentViewTop = win.findViewById(Window.ID_ANDROID_CONTENT).getTop();
    int titleBarHeight = contentViewTop - statusBarHeight;
    Log.d("ID-ANDROID-CONTENT", "titleBarHeight = " + titleBarHeight );

it didn't work for me in the onCreate method for the activity, but did when I put it in an onClickListener and gave me a measurement of 25

On Android 4.1 and higher, you can set your application's content to appear behind the status bar, so that the content doesn't resize as the status bar hides and shows. To do this, use SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN. You may also need to use SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE to help your app maintain a stable layout.

When you use this approach, it becomes your responsibility to ensure that critical parts of your app's UI (for example, the built-in controls in a Maps application) don't end up getting covered by system bars. This could make your app unusable. In most cases you can handle this by adding the android:fitsSystemWindows attribute to your XML layout file, set to true. This adjusts the padding of the parent ViewGroup to leave space for the system windows. This is sufficient for most applications.

In some cases, however, you may need to modify the default padding to get the desired layout for your app. To directly manipulate how your content lays out relative to the system bars (which occupy a space known as the window's "content insets"), override fitSystemWindows(Rect insets). The fitSystemWindows() method is called by the view hierarchy when the content insets for a window have changed, to allow the window to adjust its content accordingly. By overriding this method you can handle the insets (and hence your app's layout) however you want.

According to Google design guidelines; height of status bar is 24 dp.

If you want get status bar height in pixels you can use below method:

private static int statusBarHeight(android.content.res.Resources res) {
    return (int) (24 * res.getDisplayMetrics().density);
}

which can be called from activity with:

statusBarHeight(getResources());

Thanks to @Niklas +1 this is the correct way to do it.

public class MyActivity extends Activity implements android.support.v4.View.OnApplyWindowInsetsListener {

    Rect windowInsets;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.my_activity);

        View rootview = findViewById(android.R.id.content);

        android.support.v4.View.ViewCompat.setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener(rootview, this);
    }

    android.support.v4.View.WindowInsetsCompat android.support.v4.View.OnApplyWindowInsetsListener.OnApplyWindowInsets(View v, android.support.v4.View.WindowInsetsCompat insets)
    {
        windowInsets = new Rect();
        windowInsets.set(insets.getSystemWindowInsetLeft(), insets.getSystemWindowInsetTop(), insets.getSystemWindowInsetRight(), insets.getSystemWindowInsetBottom());
        //StatusBarHeight = insets.getSystemWindowInsetTop();

        //Refresh/Adjust view accordingly

        return insets;
    }
}

Please excuse me if the code isn't 100% correct, converted it from Xamarin C# but this is the just of it. Works with Notches, etc.

Toggled Fullscreen Solution:

This solution may look like a workaround, but it actually accounts for whether your app is fullscreen (aka hiding the status bar) or not:

Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point(); display.getSize(size);
int barheight = size.y - findViewById(R.id.rootView).getHeight();

This way, if your app is currently fullscreen, barheight will equal 0.

Personally I had to use this to correct absolute TouchEvent coordinates to account for the status bar as so:

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View view,MotionEvent event) {
    Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
    Point size = new Point(); display.getSize(size);
    int YCoord = (int)event.getRawY() - size.y + rootView.getHeight());
}

And that will get the absolute y-coordinate whether the app be fullscreen or not.

Enjoy
