What are the size of each Android screen

I'm looking for all sizes of the content area of each android size:

What I mean by "content area" is the screen without the notification bar. I couldn't find this information anywhere (either the content area sizes or the height of the notification bar).

While I could load all size in the emulator and calculate the size for each screen, I'm sure somebody else has already done it. :)

There is not a set size for the notification bar. Your best bet is to have a layout with height=fill_parent then take the height of that layout to do your calculations. That will give the content area only.

LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.main);
int height= layout.getHeight();

Okay, so you got a list of all 10 (?) different sizes and write a handler for each one in your app.

Oh snap, Samsola made a new phone with a 823x584 resolution. Your app just broke!

Oh no! Cyanofonso made a custom ROM that has a new theme where the title bar is 2 pixels larger. Your app just broke!

To reiterate - whatever you're trying to do, don't do it. Either get the size at run-time, or (preferably) use dpi to make your app work on every possible device.

You have the content sizes listed in your question unless i'm misunderstanding you. Perhaps this link will help you. http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html
