I am trying to find a way to know what kind of screen configuration the User is using.

For example, He could be having 2 screens positioned horizontally, or 2 vertically, or simply 1 or even 2 screen horizontally and 2 vertically (2x2).

Is there a way to catch that?

So far, I managed to get the amount of screens the User has. 

int devices = g.getScreenDevices().length;

  • It doesn't :(. I need to find their configuration. Like the one you can see in the Control Panel of Windows. [Screen 1 right, Screen 2 left] – N3sh Mar 08 '13 at 13:42
  • Silly me, you already have them. doesn't `g.getScreenDevices` return an array you can iterate through? – Fritz Mar 08 '13 at 13:44

You already have the different screens there. I suppose your g field is the local environment obtained through GraphicsEnvironment#getLocalGraphicsEnvironment. Then, by doing g.getScreenDevices you already have an array with the current screens (BTW, the line of code you posted shouldn't compile).

So, to access each scren you can do this:

GraphicsDevice[] devices = g.getScreenDevices();

for(GraphicsDevice currentDevice : devices) {
    DisplayMode deviceDisplayMode = currentDevice.getDisplayMode();
    //From here onwards, use deviceDisplayMode.getWidth() and
    //deviceDisplayMode.getHeight()
}

  • The only way it could be useful would that it returns a matrix. I need to know that device[1] is the left one and so on. – N3sh Mar 08 '13 at 14:16
