Get the screen height in Android

Question

How can I get the available height of the screen in Android? I need to the height minus the status bar / menu bar or any other decorations that might be on screen and I need it

Answer 1

I haven't tried different API's but I'm using these values to figure out whether or not the onscreen keyboard is up. Maybe you can try this and something comparable for width to get what you need?

Rect r = new Rect();
view.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(r);
int
    screenHeight = view.getRootView().getHeight(), // height of the entire screen
    appHeight = r.bottom - r.top, // height of the entire app
    statusBarHeight = r.top, // height of the statusbar
    pageHeight = view.getHeight(), // height of the app without title
    appTitleHeight = appHeight - pageHeight, // height of the only the app title
    topHeight = statusBarHeight + appTitleHeight;
