How to get screen resolution in Android Honeycomb?

Question

I want to get real resolution of screen on Android Honeycomb.

Here\'s my code

Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
int w = displ         


        

Answer 1

This is another viable solution for measuring the screen size (API 11+):

public static ABDimension calculateScreenDimensions(Activity activityGet)
{
    ABDimension abdReturn = new ABDimension();

    try
    {
        Rect rectGet = new Rect();
        Window winGet = null;
        DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
        int nStatusBarHeight = 0;
        int nContentViewTop = 0;
        int nTitleBarHeight = 0;
        int nScreenHeight = 0;

        if((activityGet != null) && (rectGet != null) && (displayMetrics != null))
        {
            winGet = activityGet.getWindow();
            if(winGet != null)
            {
                winGet.getDecorView().getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(rectGet);
                nStatusBarHeight = rectGet.top;
                nContentViewTop = winGet.findViewById(Window.ID_ANDROID_CONTENT).getTop();
                nTitleBarHeight = nContentViewTop - nStatusBarHeight;

                activityGet.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displayMetrics);
                int screenHeight = displayMetrics.heightPixels;
                abdReturn.nWidth = displayMetrics.widthPixels;
                abdReturn.nHeight = screenHeight - (nTitleBarHeight + nStatusBarHeight);
            }
        }
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        appContext.showMessage(false,"Error","[calculateScreenDimensions]: "+e.toString());
    }

    return abdReturn;
}

Where the ABDimension class contains six integers labeled nWidth, nHeight, nMarginLeft, nMarginTop, nMarginRight and nMarginBottom. This version accounts for common Android decor components like the TitleBar/StatusBar.

Answer 2

In the question Height of statusbar? explain how you get the statusbar height. Having the statusBarHeight value, you can do:

Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
int h = display.getHeight() + statusBarHeight;

Answer 3

Perhaps you can add the height of the status bar. Height of statusbar?

   Rect rectgle= new Rect();
   Window window= getWindow();
   window.getDecorView().getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(rectgle);
   int StatusBarHeight= rectgle.top;
   int contentViewTop= `enter code here`
      window.findViewById(Window.ID_ANDROID_CONTENT).getTop();
   int TitleBarHeight= contentViewTop - StatusBarHeight;

   Log.i("*** Jorgesys :: ", "StatusBar Height= " + StatusBarHeight + " , TitleBar Height = " + TitleBarHeight);

Answer 4

A function to get the screen size at API11 level minimum; also includes methods for higher level APIs (change function to use the selected API, its function call and its return object type):

public int getScreenOrientation()
{
    int nOrientation = Configuration.ORIENTATION_UNDEFINED;

    try
    {
        DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = null;
        WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
        if(windowManager != null)
        {
            Display defaultDisplay = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay();
            if(defaultDisplay != null)
            {
                defaultDisplay.getMetrics(displayMetrics);//API11
                //defaultDisplay.getRectSize(rectGet);//API13
                //defaultDisplay.getSize(pointGet);//API13
                //defaultDisplay.getCurrentSizeRange(pointGet,pointGet);//API16
                //defaultDisplay.getRealSize(pointGet);//API17
                //defaultDisplay.getRealMetrics(displayMetrics);//API17
                if((displayMetrics.widthPixels == displayMetrics.heightPixels) || (displayMetrics.widthPixels < displayMetrics.heightPixels))
                {
                    nOrientation = Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT;
                }
                else
                {
                    nOrientation = Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        showMessage(false,"Error","[getScreenOrientation]: " + e.toString());
    }

    return nOrientation;
}

Note: Configuration.ORIENTATION_SQUARE is deprecated, so here it is replaced to default to ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT.

Answer 5

Use the DisplayMetrics structure, describing general information about the display, such as its size, density, and font scaling.

The code used to get the display's height is as follows:

DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);

Log.d("log", "OOO " + metrics.heightPixels);

It's supposed to return the absolute height of the display, in pixels.

Answer 6

Here you are, with little trick and assumption that screen decorations are on top/bottom and never on left/right:

Display d = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT);
int h = d.getWidth();
setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE);
int w = d.getWidth();
