How to get screen dimensions as pixels in Android

I created some custom elements, and I want to programmatically place them to the upper right corner (n pixels from the top edge and m pixels from the right edge). Therefore I need to get the screen width and screen height and then set position:

int px = screenWidth - m;
int py = screenHeight - n;

How do I get screenWidth and screenHeight in the main Activity?

For API Level 30, WindowMetrics.getBounds is to be used. An example of its usage can be found in the linked docs:

 final WindowMetrics metrics = windowManager.getCurrentWindowMetrics();
 // Gets all excluding insets
 final WindowInsets windowInsets = metrics.getWindowInsets();
 Insets insets = windowInsets.getInsetsIgnoringVisibility(WindowInsets.Type.navigationBars()
         | WindowInsets.Type.displayCutout());

 int insetsWidth = insets.right + insets.left;
 int insetsHeight = insets.top + insets.bottom;

 // Legacy size that Display#getSize reports
 final Rect bounds = metrics.getBounds();
 final Size legacySize = new Size(bounds.width() - insetsWidth,
         bounds.height() - insetsHeight);

Old answer:

If you want the display dimensions in pixels you can use getSize:

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

If you're not in an Activity you can get the default Display via WINDOW_SERVICE:

WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
Display display = wm.getDefaultDisplay();

If you are in a fragment and want to acomplish this just use Activity.WindowManager (in Xamarin.Android) or getActivity().getWindowManager() (in java).

Before getSize was introduced (in API level 13), you could use the getWidth and getHeight methods that are now deprecated:

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

For the use case, you're describing, however, a margin/padding in the layout seems more appropriate.

Another way is: DisplayMetrics

A structure describing general information about a display, such as its size, density, and font scaling. To access the DisplayMetrics members, initialize an object like this:

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

We can use widthPixels to get information for:

"The absolute width of the display in pixels."

Example:

Log.d("ApplicationTagName", "Display width in px is " + metrics.widthPixels);

Much simpler in Kotlin.

val displayMetrics = Resources.getSystem().displayMetrics
displayMetrics.heightPixels
displayMetrics.widthPixels

create a class and a method like below:

public MyPoint getScreenDimensionsAsPixel(Context context){
        WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
        Display display = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay();

        Point point = new Point();
        display.getSize(point);

        return new MyPoint(point.x, point.y);
    }

    public class MyPoint{
        private int width;
        private int height;

        public MyPoint(int width, int height) {
            this.width = width;
            this.height = height;
        }

        public int getWidth() {
            return width;
        }

        public void setWidth(int width) {
            this.width = width;
        }

        public int getHeight() {
            return height;
        }

        public void setHeight(int height) {
            this.height = height;
        }
    }

and then use them in your codes:

MyPoint myPoint = getScreenDimensionsAsPixel(MainActivity.this);
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "width: " + String.valueOf(myPoint.getWidth()) + "|" +
                        "height: " + String.valueOf(myPoint.getHeight()), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Here is Kotlin extension functions for below/above API 30 code:

fun Activity.getScreenWidth(): Int {
    return if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 30) {
        val displayMetrics = DisplayMetrics()
        windowManager.defaultDisplay.getMetrics(displayMetrics)
        displayMetrics.widthPixels
    } else {
        val metrics = windowManager.currentWindowMetrics
        val insets = metrics.windowInsets
            .getInsetsIgnoringVisibility(WindowInsets.Type.systemBars())
        metrics.bounds.width() - insets.left - insets.right
    }
}

fun Activity.getScreenHeight(): Int {
    return if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 30) {
        val displayMetrics = DisplayMetrics()
        windowManager.defaultDisplay.getMetrics(displayMetrics)
        displayMetrics.heightPixels
    } else {
        val metrics = windowManager.currentWindowMetrics
        val insets = metrics.windowInsets
            .getInsetsIgnoringVisibility(WindowInsets.Type.systemBars())
        metrics.bounds.height() - insets.top - insets.bottom
    }
}

Corresponding Java helper methods:

public int getScreenWidth(Activity activity) {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 30) {
        DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
        activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displayMetrics);
        return displayMetrics.widthPixels;
    } else {
        WindowMetrics metrics = activity.getWindowManager().getCurrentWindowMetrics();
        Insets insets = metrics.getWindowInsets()
                .getInsetsIgnoringVisibility(WindowInsets.Type.systemBars());
        return metrics.getBounds().width() - insets.left - insets.right;
    }
}


public int getScreenHeight(Activity activity) {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 30) {
        DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
        activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displayMetrics);
        return displayMetrics.heightPixels;
    } else {
        WindowMetrics metrics = activity.getWindowManager().getCurrentWindowMetrics();
        Insets insets = metrics.getWindowInsets()
                .getInsetsIgnoringVisibility(WindowInsets.Type.systemBars());
        return metrics.getBounds().height() - insets.bottom - insets.top;
    }
}

• Kotlin Version via Extension Property

There are multiple ways of achieving the screen dimensions in android, but I think the best solution could be independent of a Context instance, so you can use it everywhere in your code. Here I've provided a solution via kotlin extension property, which makes it easy to know the screen size in pixels as well as dp:


DimensionUtils.kt

import android.content.res.Resources
import android.graphics.Rect
import android.graphics.RectF
import android.util.DisplayMetrics
import kotlin.math.roundToInt

/**
 * @author aminography
 */

private val displayMetrics: DisplayMetrics by lazy { Resources.getSystem().displayMetrics }

val screenRectPx: Rect
    get() = displayMetrics.run { Rect(0, 0, widthPixels, heightPixels) }

val screenRectDp: RectF
    get() = displayMetrics.run { RectF(0f, 0f, widthPixels.px2dp, heightPixels.px2dp) }

val Number.px2dp: Float
    get() = this.toFloat() / displayMetrics.density

val Number.dp2px: Int
    get() = (this.toFloat() * displayMetrics.density).roundToInt()

Usage:

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        val widthPx = screenRectPx.width()
        val heightPx = screenRectPx.height()
        println("[PX] screen width: $widthPx , height: $heightPx")

        val widthDp = screenRectDp.width()
        val heightDp = screenRectDp.height()
        println("[DP] screen width: $widthDp , height: $heightDp")
    }
}

Result:

When the device is in portrait orientation:

[PX] screen width: 1440 , height: 2392
[DP] screen width: 360.0 , height: 598.0

When the device is in landscape orientation:

[PX] screen width: 2392 , height: 1440
[DP] screen width: 598.0 , height: 360.0

If you are not a fan of kotlin, use the java version:

import android.content.res.Resources;
import android.graphics.Rect;
import android.graphics.RectF;
import android.util.DisplayMetrics;

/**
 * @author aminography
 */
public class DimensionUtils {

    private static DisplayMetrics displayMetrics;

    private static DisplayMetrics getDisplayMetrics() {
        if (displayMetrics == null) {
            displayMetrics = Resources.getSystem().getDisplayMetrics();
        }
        return displayMetrics;
    }

    public static Rect screenRectPx() {
        return new Rect(0, 0, getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels, getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels);
    }

    public static RectF screenRectDp() {
        return new RectF(0f, 0f, px2dp(getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels), px2dp(getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels));
    }

    public static float px2dp(int value) {
        return value / getDisplayMetrics().density;
    }

    public static int dp2px(float value) {
        return (int) (value * getDisplayMetrics().density);
    }
}

Above code has been deprecated in API level 30. Now you can get using following code

 val width = windowManager.currentWindowMetrics.bounds.width()
 val height = windowManager.currentWindowMetrics.bounds.height()

This method reports the window size including all system bar areas, while Display#getSize(Point) reports the area excluding navigation bars and display cutout areas. The value reported by Display#getSize(Point) can be obtained by using:

 val metrics = windowManager.currentWindowMetrics
 // Gets all excluding insets
 val windowInsets = metrics.windowInsets
 var insets: Insets = windowInsets.getInsets(WindowInsets.Type.navigationBars())
 val cutout = windowInsets.displayCutout
 if (cutout != null) {
    val cutoutSafeInsets = Insets.of(cutout.safeInsetLeft, cutout.safeInsetTop, cutout.safeInsetRight, cutout.safeInsetBottom)
    insets = Insets.max(insets, cutoutSafeInsets)
 }

 val insetsWidth = insets.right + insets.left
 val insetsHeight = insets.top + insets.bottom

 // Legacy size that Display#getSize reports
 val legacySize =  Size(metrics.bounds.width() - insetsWidth, metrics.bounds.height() - insetsHeight)

Created Kotlin extension function to get screen width and height - 

fun Context?.screenWidthInPx(): Int {
    if (this == null) return 0
    val dm = DisplayMetrics()
    val wm = this.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE) as WindowManager
    wm.defaultDisplay.getMetrics(dm)
    return dm.widthPixels
}
//comment
fun Context?.screenHeightInPx(): Int {
    if (this == null) return 0
    val dm = DisplayMetrics()
    val wm = this.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE) as WindowManager
    wm.defaultDisplay.getMetrics(dm)
    return dm.heightPixels
}

I think it's simplest

private fun checkDisplayResolution() {
    val displayMetrics = DisplayMetrics().also {
        windowManager.defaultDisplay.getMetrics(it)
    }

    Log.i(TAG, "display width: ${displayMetrics.widthPixels}")
    Log.i(TAG, "display height: ${displayMetrics.heightPixels}")
    Log.i(TAG, "display width dpi: ${displayMetrics.xdpi}")
    Log.i(TAG, "display height dpi: ${displayMetrics.ydpi}")
    Log.i(TAG, "display density: ${displayMetrics.density}")
    Log.i(TAG, "display scaled density: ${displayMetrics.scaledDensity}")
}

I used above proposals and created a kotlin version for our question. Hope this provides some additional help for those using kotlin:

private val screenDimensions: Int by lazy {
    val display = (context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE) as WindowManager).defaultDisplay
    Point()
        .also { size ->
            when {
                Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1 -> display.getRealSize(size)
                else -> display.getSize(size)
            }
        }
}

screenDimensions.x // width
screenDimensions.y // height

For getting the screen dimensions use display metrices

DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
if (context != null) 
      WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
      Display defaultDisplay = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay();
      defaultDisplay.getRealMetrics(displayMetrics);
    }

Get the height and width in pixels

int width  =displayMetrics.widthPixels;
int height =displayMetrics.heightPixels;

Here is a simple adaptation from some answers above in a Kotlin implementation. It requires as mentioned above windowsSoftInput="adjustResize" in the manifest:

class KeyboardWatcher(private val layoutRooView: View) {

    companion object {
        private const val MIN_KEYBOARD_HEIGHT = 200f
    }

    private val displayMetrics: DisplayMetrics = layoutRooView.resources.displayMetrics
    private var stateVisible = false

    var observer: ((Boolean) -> Unit)? = null

    init {
        layoutRooView.viewTreeObserver.addOnGlobalLayoutListener {
            val heightDiff = layoutRooView.rootView.height - layoutRooView.height
            if (!stateVisible && heightDiff > dpToPx(MIN_KEYBOARD_HEIGHT)) {
                stateVisible = true
                observer?.invoke(stateVisible)
            } else if(stateVisible) {
                stateVisible = false
                observer?.invoke(stateVisible)
            }
        }
    }

    private fun dpToPx(valueInDp: Float): Float {
        return TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, valueInDp, displayMetrics)
    }
}

And to use:

val activityRootView = findViewById<ViewGroup>(R.id.activityRoot)
KeyboardWatcher(activityRootView).observer = { visible ->
    if (visible) do something here ...
}

You can do get the height size using :

getResources().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels;

and the width size using

getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;

Above answer won't work if the Display class will not work then you can get the width and height by below method.

private static final int WIDTH_INDEX = 0;
private static final int HEIGHT_INDEX = 1;

    public static int[] getScreenSize(Context context) {
        int[] widthHeight = new int[2];
        widthHeight[WIDTH_INDEX] = 0;
        widthHeight[HEIGHT_INDEX] = 0;

        try {
            WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
            Display display = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay();

            Point size = new Point();
            display.getSize(size);
            widthHeight[WIDTH_INDEX] = size.x;
            widthHeight[HEIGHT_INDEX] = size.y;

            if (!isScreenSizeRetrieved(widthHeight))
            {
                DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
                display.getMetrics(metrics);
                widthHeight[0] = metrics.widthPixels;
                widthHeight[1] = metrics.heightPixels;
            }

            // Last defense. Use deprecated API that was introduced in lower than API 13
            if (!isScreenSizeRetrieved(widthHeight)) {
                widthHeight[0] = display.getWidth(); // deprecated
                widthHeight[1] = display.getHeight(); // deprecated
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return widthHeight;
    }

    private static boolean isScreenSizeRetrieved(int[] widthHeight) {
        return widthHeight[WIDTH_INDEX] != 0 && widthHeight[HEIGHT_INDEX] != 0;
    }

I have a splash screen activity with a LinearLayout as a root view that has match_parent for its width & height. This is the code in the onCreate() method of that activity. I use these measures in all other activities of the app.

int displayWidth = getRawDisplayWidthPreHoneycomb();
int rawDisplayHeight = getRawDisplayHeightPreHoneycomb();
int usableDisplayHeight = rawDisplayHeight - getStatusBarHeight();
pf.setScreenParameters(displayWidth, usableDisplayHeight);

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
    LinearLayout myView = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.splash_view);
    myView.addOnLayoutChangeListener(new OnLayoutChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onLayoutChange(View v, int left, int top, int right, int bottom, int oldLeft, int oldTop, int oldRight, int oldBottom) {
            if (left == 0 && top == 0 && right == 0 && bottom == 0) {
                return;
            }
            int displayWidth = Math.min(right, bottom);
            int usableDisplayHeight = Math.max(right, bottom);
            pf.setScreenParameters(displayWidth, usableDisplayHeight);
        }
    });
}

Here are the implementations for the methods you see get called above:

private int getRawDisplayWidthPreHoneycomb() {
    WindowManager windowManager = getWindowManager();
    Display display = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay();
    DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
    display.getMetrics(displayMetrics);

    int widthPixels = displayMetrics.widthPixels;
    int heightPixels = displayMetrics.heightPixels;

    return Math.min(widthPixels, heightPixels);
}

private int getRawDisplayHeightPreHoneycomb() {
    WindowManager w = getWindowManager();
    Display d = w.getDefaultDisplay();
    DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
    d.getMetrics(metrics);

    int widthPixels = metrics.widthPixels;
    int heightPixels = metrics.heightPixels;

    return Math.max(widthPixels, heightPixels);
}

public int getStatusBarHeight() {
    int statusBarHeight = 0;

    int resourceId = getResources().getIdentifier("status_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
    if (resourceId > 0) {
        statusBarHeight = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId);
    }

    return statusBarHeight;
}

This results in the height and width of the usable display, excluding any type of bars (status bar, navigation bar), for all API versions and different types of devices (phones and tablets).

Follow the methods below:

public static int getWidthScreen(Context context) {
    return getDisplayMetrics(context).widthPixels;
}

public static int getHeightScreen(Context context) {
    return getDisplayMetrics(context).heightPixels;
}

private static DisplayMetrics getDisplayMetrics(Context context) {
    DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
    WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
    wm.getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displayMetrics);

This function returns the approximate screen size in inches.

public double getScreenSize()
{
        DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics();
        getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm);
        int width=dm.widthPixels;
        int height=dm.heightPixels;
        int dens=dm.densityDpi;
        double wi=(double)width/(double)dens;
        double hi=(double)height/(double)dens;
        double x = Math.pow(wi,2);
        double y = Math.pow(hi,2);
        double screenInches = Math.sqrt(x+y);
        return screenInches;
}

First get view (eg. by findViewById()) and then you can use getWidth() on the view itself.

For accessing the height of the status bar for Android devices, we prefer a programmatic way to get it:

Sample code

int resId = getResources().getIdentifier("status_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
if (resId > 0) {
    result = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(resId);
}

The variable result gives the height in the pixel.

For quick access

Enter image description here

For more information about height of Title bar, Navigation bar and Content View, kindly look on Android Device Screen Sizes.

(2012 answer, may be out of date) If you want to support pre Honeycomb, you will need to put in backward compatibility prior to API 13. Something like:

int measuredWidth = 0;
int measuredHeight = 0;
WindowManager w = getWindowManager();

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

Of course the deprecated methods will eventually be taken out of the the most recent SDKs, but while we still rely on most of our users having Android 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3, this is what we are left with.

DisplayMetrics dm = getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
float fwidth = dm.density * dm.widthPixels;
float fheight = dm.density * dm.heightPixels;

If getSize gets you an error due to your minSDKVersion and you don't want to use deprecated methods (getWidth & getHeight), the getMetrics solution was originally posted on 2011 by Balaji.K... And Nik added a comment explaining getDisplayMetrics also considers the status bar size.

Some other comments refer to multiply by the scale (density) in order to get the precise float value of the dimensions. Tested in Android v2.2 (API 8) and v4.0 with good results and no errors/warnings.

Simple function compatible with lower versions as well.

/**
 * @return screen size int[width, height]
 *
 * */
public int[] getScreenSize(){
    Point size = new Point();
    WindowManager w = getWindowManager();

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB_MR2){
        w.getDefaultDisplay().getSize(size);
        return new int[]{size.x, size.y};
    }else{
        Display d = w.getDefaultDisplay();
        //noinspection deprecation
        return new int[]{d.getWidth(), d.getHeight()};
    }
}

To use:

int width = getScreenSize()[0];
int height = getScreenSize()[1];

DisplayMetrics dimension = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dimension);
int w = dimension.widthPixels;
int h = dimension.heightPixels;

Find width and height of the screen:

width = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getWidth();
height = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight();

Using this, we can get the latest and above SDK 13.

// New width and height
int version = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
Log.i("", " name == "+ version);
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
int width;
if (version >= 13) {
    Point size = new Point();
    display.getSize(size);
    width = size.x;
    Log.i("width", "if =>" +width);
}
else {
    width = display.getWidth();
    Log.i("width", "else =>" +width);
}

First load the XML file and then write this code:

setContentView(R.layout.main);      
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
final int width = (display.getWidth());
final int height = (display.getHeight());

Show width and height according your screen resolution.

I have two functions, one for sending the context and the other getting height and width in pixels:

public static int getWidth(Context mContext){
    int width=0;
    WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
    Display display = wm.getDefaultDisplay();
    if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>12){
        Point size = new Point();
        display.getSize(size);
        width = size.x;
    }
    else{
        width = display.getWidth();  // Deprecated
    }
    return width;
}

and

public static int getHeight(Context mContext){
    int height=0;
    WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
    Display display = wm.getDefaultDisplay();
    if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>12){
        Point size = new Point();
        display.getSize(size);
        height = size.y;
    }
    else{
        height = display.getHeight();  // Deprecated
    }
    return height;
}

For who is searching for usable screen dimension without Status Bar and Action Bar (also thanks to Swapnil's answer):

DisplayMetrics dm = getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
float screen_w = dm.widthPixels;
float screen_h = dm.heightPixels;

int resId = getResources().getIdentifier("status_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
if (resId > 0) {
    screen_h -= getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(resId);
}

TypedValue typedValue = new TypedValue();
if(getTheme().resolveAttribute(android.R.attr.actionBarSize, typedValue, true)){
    screen_h -= getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(typedValue.resourceId);
}
