How to know the display's size of an aplicattion in android?

Question

I'm developing an Android application, but I'm a noob using it. I already know that I can make use of the .XML file to design the application's interface, but, by large amount of views that I have to configure inside of the .XML file, I decided to add the views programmatically, and all it's ok at this point.

My question is, can I know, NOT the size of the devices display, but the size of the area where the application is displayed?

If such thing it's not possible at all, at least can somebody explain me how can I do to make my application visible at all the screen (e.g. As happens when we open Adobe Reader for Android, covering even the notification bar, where the time is appreciated.)?

I've made use of the setFillViewPort() property for the ScrollView that contains a LinearLayout, and it holds inside all that you can see, but it does not work for covering all the display (as you can see, there's a blank space at the end).

Thank you very much.

Here's the current inteface of the application.

I think if you use LinearLayout then it will be set for all the devices means without giving any lengths are fixed(like 200 px). — Hanuman, Apr 07 '15 at 05:02

For hiding notification Bar you have to add this code in AndroidManifest.xml File

<application
...
    android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.NoActionBar.Fullscreen" >
...
</application>

you can get more info about this from, https://developer.android.com/training/system-ui/status.html

// Get Display size for automatic animation
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();

The code above, yes. – Andrés Campos Hernández Apr 07 '15 at 05:52
Not really the View's size, I want to know (if it's possible) the dimension where the application is displayed. – Andrés Campos Hernández Apr 07 '15 at 05:54
