To accomplish this in my app, I had to find a View's dimensions within the main Activity. It looked something like this: @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); gestureScanner = new GestureDetector(this); //Object for handling gestures. mvView = new MyView(this); //MyView is class that extends View. setContentView(myView); } @Override public void onShowPress(MotionEvent e) { //Returns the size of the entire window, including status bar and title. DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics(); this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm); //Try to find the dimension of the view without the status/title bars. int iViewHeight = mvMountain.getHeight(); int iViewWidth = mvMountain.getWidth(); Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this," View:" + iViewWidth + ","+iViewHeight + " Window: " + dm.widthPixels + " by " + dm.heightPixels, 2); toast.show(); } share|improve this answer answered Mar 31 '10 at 19:11 community wiki rat

I have a tutorial on my blog that give you the ability to save your screen size on launch, You can read it here: http://evgeni-shafran.blogspot.com/2011/01/android-screen-size-problem.html Basicly you need to overide an onMeasure method of the first layout that hold you full screen, and get the width and height from there share|improve this answer answered Aug 2 '11 at 5:26 community wiki Evgeni Shafran

have a look at getwidth() and getheight() maybe? that should give you the size of the screen. though, I don't know If it takes the bars or not. But I don't think so... share|improve this answer answered Mar 21 '10 at 10:17 community wiki Sephy

1   Which getWidth/getHeight methods are you talking about? I might not have been clear enough in the question, sorry. I'm developing for Android, not BlackBerry, so Screen.getWidth() isn't what I'm looking for. –  Victor Mar 22 '10 at 1:02 getwidth does not apply to the screen but to a view or layout. (I understood you were on android as you tagged your question so ;)) So if you put for instance a Relative layout with attributes fill_parent for its width and height and do getwidth and getheight in your code, I think it should give you satifaction –  Sephy Mar 22 '10 at 7:44 add comment

in the first onDraw, call getWidth, getHeight. these will not be valid before then. if you are not using a custom view/layout then you can instead call getWidth/getHeight during the first onWindowFocusChanged
