Question

I create android emulator with screen: screen size: 7.5 inches Resolution(width x height): 720x960 density: mdpi And in Android virtual device manager it is shown xlarge screen size but in following code it returns Large screen size.

int screenLayout = context.getResources().getConfiguration().screenLayout;
screenLayout &= Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK;

switch (screenLayout) {
    case Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_SMALL:
        return ScreenSize.SMALL;
    case Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_NORMAL:
        return ScreenSize.MEDIUM;
    case Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_LARGE:
        return ScreenSize.LARGE;

        return ScreenSize.XLARGE;
    default:

You will be able to get screen Height and Width using:

WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
    Display display = wm.getDefaultDisplay();
    DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
    display.getMetrics(metrics);
    int width = metrics.widthPixels;
    int height = metrics.heightPixels;

public static int getScreenWidth() {
return Resources.getSystem().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
}

public static int getScreenHeight() {
return Resources.getSystem().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels;
}

You can try this:

/**  
 * Get screen width  
 *  
 * @param context  
 * @return  screen width
 */  
public static int getScreenWidth(Context context)  
{  
    WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) context  
            .getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);  
    DisplayMetrics outMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();  
    wm.getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(outMetrics);  
    return outMetrics.widthPixels;  
}  

/**  
 * Get screen height  
 *  
 * @param context  
 * @return  screen height
 */  
public static int getScreenHeight(Context context)  
{  
    WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) context  
            .getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);  
    DisplayMetrics outMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();  
    wm.getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(outMetrics);  
    return outMetrics.heightPixels;  
}
