If you want the display dimensions in pixels you can use getSize
:
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point();
display.getSize(size);
int width = size.x;
int height = size.y;
If you're not in an Activity
you can get the default Display
via WINDOW_SERVICE
:
WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
Display display = wm.getDefaultDisplay();
If you are in a fragment and want to acomplish this just use Activity.WindowManager (in Xamarin.Android) or getActivity().getWindowManager() (in java).
Before getSize
was introduced (in API level 13), you could use the getWidth
and getHeight
methods that are now deprecated:
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
int width = display.getWidth(); // deprecated
int height = display.getHeight(); // deprecated
For the use case, you're describing, however, a margin/padding in the layout seems more appropriate.
Another way is: DisplayMetrics
A structure describing general information about a display, such as its size, density, and font scaling. To access the DisplayMetrics members, initialize an object like this:
DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);
We can use widthPixels
to get information for:
"The absolute width of the display in pixels."
Example:
Log.d("ApplicationTagName", "Display width in px is " + metrics.widthPixels);
API level 30 update
final WindowMetrics metrics = windowManager.getCurrentWindowMetrics();
// Gets all excluding insets
final WindowInsets windowInsets = metrics.getWindowInsets();
Insets insets = windowInsets.getInsetsIgnoreVisibility(WindowInsets.Type.navigationBars()
| WindowInsets.Type.displayCutout());
int insetsWidth = insets.right + insets.left;
int insetsHeight = insets.top + insets.bottom;
// Legacy size that Display#getSize reports
final Rect bounds = metrics.getBounds();
final Size legacySize = new Size(bounds.width() - insetsWidth,
bounds.height() - insetsHeight);
First, get the intent which has started your activity using the getIntent()
method:
Intent intent = getIntent();
If your extra data is represented as strings, then you can use intent.getStringExtra(String name)
method. In your case:
String id = intent.getStringExtra("id");
String name = intent.getStringExtra("name");

Maybe these quotes and links can help you code your own solution:
1.- To get a list of available network providers (quoting How to get a list of available network providers? in full):
2.- Even a quick read to NetworkSetting.java and INetworkQueryService interface, gives us an idea to achieve your goal.
I hope it helps. I think it's an interesting challenge so maybe I'll give it a try next time I have some spare time. Good luck!
