How to get/detect screen size in Xamarin.Forms?

Question

I am trying to rewrite an app that I wrote for iOS. I was going to write an android version but thought It\'d be better to make this the opportunity to use Xamarin.Forms. Do

Answer 1

In your App file define a public static variable

public static Size ScreenSize;

You should initialise the variable both in IOS and Android before calling the App constructer. For IOS, in FinishedLaunching method

App.ScreenSize = new Size(UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Width, UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Height);

and For Android, in OnCreate function

            App.ScreenSize = new Xamarin.Forms.Size((int)(Resources.DisplayMetrics.WidthPixels / Resources.DisplayMetrics.Density), (int)(Resources.DisplayMetrics.HeightPixels / Resources.DisplayMetrics.Density));
