Detect soft navigation bar availability in android device progmatically?

Question

I am trying to determine soft navigation bar through the android program. I didn\'t find straight way to determine. Is there anyway to find the navigation bar availability.

Its a hack but it works fine. Try it.

public static boolean hasSoftKeys(WindowManager windowManager){
  Display d = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay();

  DisplayMetrics realDisplayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
  d.getRealMetrics(realDisplayMetrics);  

  int realHeight = realDisplayMetrics.heightPixels;
  int realWidth = realDisplayMetrics.widthPixels;

  DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
  d.getMetrics(displayMetrics);

  int displayHeight = displayMetrics.heightPixels;
  int displayWidth = displayMetrics.widthPixels;

  return (realWidth - displayWidth) > 0 || (realHeight - displayHeight) > 0;
}
