POAndroid: Get Screen size for the root Layout only
text
Body
copied!<p>Please get me correctly over here : </p> <p>I want to get the height/width of the space available to the Activity/Layout in onCreate() method to calculate the height that can be given to child layouts. I can get the screen size using :</p> <pre><code> root = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.mainroot); // Main layout of LinearLayout android.view.Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay(); int height = Display.getHeight(); // I know this is deprecated have hence used int width = Display.getWidth(); // DisplayMetrics int childWidth, childHeight; DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics(); display.getMetrics(metrics); //int density = metrics.densityDpi; height = metrics.heightPixels; //480 width = metrics.widthPixels; //320 </code></pre> <p>This both the methods/ways gives me same height and width i.e. size of full screen. What I am looking for is to get actual height that is avaialbe for the layout after deduction of Application Title, Status Bar, etc.</p> <p>Any idea how to get this. OR to get the sizes of titles, etc - what all should be counted over here. On emulator I see 2 bars on top - 1 must be application titile what an be the other one. I can get heights of them all and deduct from screen height. </p> <p>ONE more point : In this case I will be setting the height programamtically so it will be pixel based (as I can setheight in pixels only I guess) will that affect in density factor with differnet screen sizes. What can be a way to calculate height (lets say 50%) for child layout that will be same for any density o so.</p>
