Does the Width and Height change with orientation?

Question

So my game starts in Vertical orientation and then eventually goes to Horizontal orientation. I know that the width of the screen is the width of the screen and the same wit

Answer 1

Yes the screen width and height change depending on the device orientation. You can get the size of a display with Display.getSize(Point outSize) which is a replacement for the deprecated methods Display.getHeight and Display.getWidth. From the docs: This value is adjusted for you based on the current rotation of the display.

Answer 2

wanted to add that on my tablet when running full screen apps it will run 1280 x 753 (not 800 because of the bottom bar). 753 is what is returned from getSize. When the orientation flips.. it's 1280px - 47px
