How to get the Android device screen size from the adb command line?

Question

I need a way to detect device screen size and density with adb. If there is no solution, where can I get the complete list of all existing android device with their screen

Answer 1

To get required info from ADB, the following command executed from the command line will return a lot of useful properties about the connected devices

> adb shell getprop

To filter through these properties

on Unix use grep like

> adb shell getprop | grep density

on Windows use find like

> adb shell getprop | findstr "density"

Returned value looks like

[ro.sf.lcd_density]: [240]

for screen size put display instead of density
