Get screen Dimensions in Android

Question

As there are two methods for getting size. From API level above 13 this method works for me

Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point();
display.getSize(size);
int width = size.x;
int height = size.y;

And below 14 this method works for me

Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay(); 
int width = display.getWidth();  // deprecated
int height = display.getHeight();  // deprecated

Can i get screen size for all API levels??? Kindly help me.

Just use those two approaches depending on what API the device has. [This question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3993924/get-android-api-level-of-phone-currently-running-my-application) will show you how to do so. — MalaKa, Apr 07 '14 at 11:24

try with this dude

int density;
    private DisplayMetrics metrics;
    private int widthPixels;
    private float scaleFactor;
    private float widthDp;
private DisplayMetrics metrics;
          metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
     getActivity().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);

     density= getResources().getDisplayMetrics().densityDpi;

     widthPixels = metrics.widthPixels;

     scaleFactor = metrics.density;

     widthDp = widthPixels / scaleFactor;

To support all version of android use below code

int Measuredwidth = 0;
int Measuredheight = 0;
Point size = new Point();
WindowManager w = getWindowManager();

if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB_MR2){
    w.getDefaultDisplay().getSize(size);
    Measuredwidth = size.x;
    Measuredheight = size.y; 
}else{
    Display d = w.getDefaultDisplay(); 
    Measuredwidth = d.getWidth(); 
    Measuredheight = d.getHeight(); 
}

public void ScreenSize()
{
 int Measuredwidth = 0;
    int Measuredheight = 0;
    Point size = new Point();
    WindowManager w = getWindowManager();

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB_MR2)
    {
        w.getDefaultDisplay().getSize(size);

        Measuredwidth = size.x;
        Measuredheight = size.y;
    }
    else
    {
        Display d = w.getDefaultDisplay();
        Measuredwidth = d.getWidth();
        Measuredheight = d.getHeight();
    }
}

Try this code, i use to display the screen specification:

this example tested on API 8 and you can easy understand Display Matrix ... hope this helps

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    getWindow().setFlags( WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
            WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN );
    requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);


    TextView tv=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.tv);
    TextView tv1=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView01);
    TextView tv2=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView02);
    TextView tv3=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView03);
    TextView tv4=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView04);    
    TextView tv5=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView05);
    TextView tv6=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView06);
    TextView tv7=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView07);
    TextView tv8=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView08);
    TextView tv9=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView09);
    TextView tv10=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView10);
    TextView tv11=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView11);
    TextView tv12=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.TextView12);


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

        float height=metrics.heightPixels/metrics.ydpi;
        float width=metrics.widthPixels/metrics.xdpi;

        tv.setText("The screen size is:"+Math.sqrt(height*height+width*width));

        tv1.setText("The screen height:"+height);
        tv2.setText("The screen width:"+metrics.densityDpi);
        tv3.setText("The screen metrics.heightPixels:"+metrics.heightPixels);
        tv4.setText("The screen metrics.xdpi:"+metrics.xdpi);

        tv5.setText("The screen height:"+height);
        tv6.setText("The screen width:"+metrics);
        tv7.setText("The screen metrics.widthPixels:"+metrics.widthPixels);
        tv8.setText("The screen metrics.ydpi:"+metrics.ydpi);

       tv9.setText("The screen Math.pow  x :"+Math.pow(metrics.widthPixels/metrics.xdpi,2));
       tv10.setText("The screen Math.pow  y :"+Math.pow(metrics.heightPixels/metrics.ydpi,2));
                float x = (float) Math.pow(metrics.widthPixels/metrics.xdpi,2);
                float y = (float) Math.pow(metrics.heightPixels/metrics.ydpi,2);
       tv11.setText("The screen metrics.widthPixels:"+Math.sqrt(x+y));

}
}

Disply disply=((WindowManager)getSystemService(Context.WINDOWMANAGER)).getDefaultDiaply();
int width=display.getWidth();
int heighte=disply.getHeight();
