I was looking at this posting: Get screen dimensions in pixels when I was trying to determine the size of the device's screen while in a fragment class. One answer was close to what I needed but the only code that ended up working for me was: 

WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) getView().getContext().getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE); 
Display screen = wm.getDefaultDisplay();

whereupon I could then use getHeight(); or another non-deprecated term.

  • so what is the question? – Manfred Moser Mar 23 '12 at 23:24
  • @Manfred Moser: This question was about how to return the screen dimensions from within a fragment class of whatever device is using an application with this code(ie 320x480). If you have any suggestions about how to improve this question I can definitely clarify the wording. Thanks. – thomas.cloud Mar 26 '12 at 17:36

You questions contains the answer! Just use getActvity() as the context in the fragment.
