Android defines screen sizes as Normal Large XLarge etc.
It automatically picks between static resources in appropriate folders. I need this data about the current device in my java code. The DisplayMetrics only gives information about the current device density. Nothing is available regarding screen size.
I did find the ScreenSize enum in grep code here However this does not seem available to me for 4.0 SDK. Is there a way to get this information?
Copy and paste this code into your Activity
and when it is executed it will Toast
the device's screen size category.
int screenSize = getResources().getConfiguration().screenLayout &
Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_MASK;
String toastMsg;
switch(screenSize) {
case Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_LARGE:
toastMsg = "Large screen";
break;
case Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_NORMAL:
toastMsg = "Normal screen";
break;
case Configuration.SCREENLAYOUT_SIZE_SMALL:
toastMsg = "Small screen";
break;
default:
toastMsg = "Screen size is neither large, normal or small";
}
Toast.makeText(this, toastMsg, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
