How to get screen width and height

I tried to use following code to get screen width and height in android app development:

Display display = getWindowM开发者_如何学Goanager().getDefaultDisplay(); 
int screenWidth = display.getWidth();
int screenHeight = display.getHeight();

but I got NullPointerException for my display, why? how to get screen width and height then?

If you're calling this outside of an Activity, you'll need to pass the context in (or get it through some other call). Then use that to get your display metrics:

DisplayMetrics metrics = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
int width = metrics.widthPixels;
int height = metrics.heightPixels;

UPDATE: With API level 17+, you can use getRealSize:

Point displaySize = new Point();
activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRealSize(displaySize);

If you want the available window size, you can use getDecorView to calculate the available area by subtracting the decor view size from the real display size:

Point displaySize = new Point();
activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRealSize(displaySize);

Rect windowSize = new Rect();
ctivity.getWindow().getDecorView().getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(windowSize);

int width = displaySize.x - Math.abs(windowSize.width());
int height = displaySize.y - Math.abs(windowSize.height());
return new Point(width, height);

getRealMetrics may also work (requires API level 17+), but I haven't tried it yet:

DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
activity.GetWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRealMetrics(metrics);

---

Within an activity, you can call:

int width = this.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
int height = this.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels;

When you're in a View, then you need to get the Context first:

int width = getContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
int height = getContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels;

This will work in all Android version, available since API 1, and never deprecated.

From service:

Display  display= ((WindowManager) getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay();
int width = display.getWidth(); 
int height = display.getHeight(); 

---

This is what finally worked for me:

DisplayMetrics metrics = this.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
int width = metrics.widthPixels;
int height = metrics.heightPixels;

---

Try via context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics() if you have a context available.

---

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

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

i guess the code which you wrote is deprecated.

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11) {
        Point size = new Point();
        try {
            this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRealSize(size);
            screenWidth = size.x;
            screenHeight = size.y;
        } catch (NoSuchMethodError e) {
             screenHeight = this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight();
             screenWidth=this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getWidth();
        }

    } else {
        DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
        this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);
        screenWidth = metrics.widthPixels;
        screenHeight = metrics.heightPixels;
    }

Try with the following code to get width and height of screen

int widthOfscreen =0;
int heightOfScreen = 0;
DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics();
        try {
            ((Activity) context).getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay()
                    .getMetrics(dm);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
        }
         widthOfscreen  = dm.widthPixels;
heightOfScreen  = dm.heightPixels;

---

WindowManager w = getWindowManager();
Display d = w.getDefaultDisplay();
DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
d.getMetrics(metrics);

Log.d("WIDTH: ", String.valueOf(d.getWidth()));
Log.d("HEIGHT: ", String.valueOf(d.getHeight()));

---

       /*
        *DisplayMetrics: A structure describing general information about a display, such as its size, density, and font scaling.
        * */

 DisplayMetrics metrics = getResources().getDisplayMetrics();

       int DeviceTotalWidth = metrics.widthPixels;
       int DeviceTotalHeight = metrics.heightPixels;

---

    int scrWidth  = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getWidth();
    int scrHeight = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight();

---

Display display = getActivity().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay(); 
int screenWidth = display.getWidth();
int screenHeight = display.getHeight();
Log.d("Tag", "Getting Width >> " + screenWidth);
Log.d("Tag", "Getting Height >> " + screenHeight);

This worked properly in my application

Alternative way using function

private int[] getScreenSIze(){
        DisplayMetrics displaymetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
        getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displaymetrics);
        int h = displaymetrics.heightPixels;
        int w = displaymetrics.widthPixels;

        int[] size={w,h};
        return size;

    }

on button click or on your create function add the following code

int[] screenSize= getScreenSIze();
        int width=screenSize[0];
        int height=screenSize[1];
        screenSizes.setText("Phone Screen sizes \n\n  width = "+width+" \n Height = "+height);

See demo source code

below answer support api level below and above 10

 if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 11) {
            Point size = new Point();
            try {
                this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRealSize(size);
                screenWidth = size.x;
                screenHeight = size.y;
            } catch (NoSuchMethodError e) {
                 screenHeight = this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight();
                 screenWidth=this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getWidth();
            }

        } else {
            DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
            this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);
            screenWidth = metrics.widthPixels;
            screenHeight = metrics.heightPixels;
        }
