I need to handle layout for notch devices. I know in Ios. I can handle it using safe area in Ios. But in android is there any way to achieve this ?

Answer 1

You need DisplayCutout object for this In yours Activity class (in onCreate()):

WindowManager.LayoutParams lp = this.getWindow().getAttributes();

lp.layoutInDisplayCutoutMode = WindowManager.LayoutParams.LAYOUT_IN_DISPLAY_CUTOUT_MODE_SHORT_EDGES;    

WindowInsets windowInsets = this.getWindow().getDecorView().getRootView().getRootWindowInsets();

DisplayCutout displayCutout = windowInsets.getDisplayCutout();
int bottom = displayCutout.getSafeInsetBottom()
