Here is the thing, as you might know Admob has a AdSize.* function, where u put Banner to show banner ads, and AD_banner` for tablet banners, what i want to do is take a screen size of a device so that i could throw it in my if statement and then put the right banner for right device, i hope i was clear enough.So anyone can tell me how can i get the screen size of device? Thank u ////////// Here's what i have done so far 

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

       if (dm.density==DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_HIGH) {
        AdView adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER,s);
        LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.admob);
        layout.addView(adView);
        adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());
       }
       if (dm.density==DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEFAULT || dm.density==DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_LOW ) {
             AdView adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.BANNER,s);
             LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.admob);
             layout.addView(adView);
            adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());

        }
        if(dm.density==DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_MEDIUM)
        {
            AdView adView = new AdView(this, AdSize.IAB_BANNER,s);
            LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.admob);
            layout.addView(adView);
            adView.loadAd(new AdRequest());

        }

The most recent AdMob SDK includes AdSize.SMART_BANNER which enables the best size matched ad for the device.

I was using an older version myself and didn't knew about this feature :D
