How can I get the screen width and height and use this value in:

@Override protected void onMeasure(int widthSpecId, int heightSpecId) {
    Log.e(TAG, "onMeasure" + widthSpecId);
    setMeasuredDimension(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT - 
        game.findViewById(R.id.flag).getHeight());
}

Using this code, you can get the runtime display's width & height:

DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displayMetrics);
int height = displayMetrics.heightPixels;
int width = displayMetrics.widthPixels;

In a view you need to do something like this:

((Activity) getContext()).getWindowManager()
                         .getDefaultDisplay()
                         .getMetrics(displayMetrics);

In some scenarios, where devices have a navigation bar, you have to check at runtime:

public boolean showNavigationBar(Resources resources)
{
    int id = resources.getIdentifier("config_showNavigationBar", "bool", "android");
    return id > 0 && resources.getBoolean(id);
}

If the device has a navigation bar, then count its height:

private int getNavigationBarHeight() {
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
        DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
        getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);
        int usableHeight = metrics.heightPixels;
        getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRealMetrics(metrics);
        int realHeight = metrics.heightPixels;
        if (realHeight > usableHeight)
            return realHeight - usableHeight;
        else
            return 0;
    }
    return 0;
}

So the final height of the device is:

int height = displayMetrics.heightPixels + getNavigationBarHeight();

There is a very simple answer and without pass context

public static int getScreenWidth() {
    return Resources.getSystem().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
}

public static int getScreenHeight() {
    return Resources.getSystem().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels;
}

Note: if you want the height include navigation bar, use method below

WindowManager windowManager =
        (WindowManager) BaseApplication.getApplication().getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
    final Display display = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay();
    Point outPoint = new Point();
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 19) {
        // include navigation bar
        display.getRealSize(outPoint);
    } else {
        // exclude navigation bar
        display.getSize(outPoint);
    }
    if (outPoint.y > outPoint.x) {
        mRealSizeHeight = outPoint.y;
        mRealSizeWidth = outPoint.x;
    } else {
        mRealSizeHeight = outPoint.x;
        mRealSizeWidth = outPoint.y;
    }

Just to update the answer by parag and SpK to align with current SDK backward compatibility from deprecated methods:

int Measuredwidth = 0;  
int Measuredheight = 0;  
Point size = new Point();
WindowManager w = getWindowManager();

if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB)    {
    w.getDefaultDisplay().getSize(size);
    Measuredwidth = size.x;
    Measuredheight = size.y; 
}else{
    Display d = w.getDefaultDisplay(); 
    Measuredwidth = d.getWidth(); 
    Measuredheight = d.getHeight(); 
}

Why not

DisplayMetrics displaymetrics = getResources().getDisplayMetrics();

then use

displayMetrics.widthPixels (heightPixels)

It’s very easy to get in Android:

int width  = Resources.getSystem().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
int height = Resources.getSystem().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels;

• `Kotlin Version` via `Extension Property`

If you want to know the size of the screen in pixels as well as dp, using these extension properties really helps:

DimensionUtils.kt

import android.content.Context
import android.content.res.Resources
import android.graphics.Rect
import android.graphics.RectF
import android.os.Build
import android.util.DisplayMetrics
import android.view.WindowManager
import kotlin.math.roundToInt

/**
 * @author aminography
 */

private val displayMetrics: DisplayMetrics by lazy { Resources.getSystem().displayMetrics }

/**
 * Returns boundary of the screen in pixels (px).
 */
val screenRectPx: Rect
    get() = displayMetrics.run { Rect(0, 0, widthPixels, heightPixels) }

/**
 * Returns boundary of the screen in density independent pixels (dp).
 */
val screenRectDp: RectF
    get() = screenRectPx.run { RectF(0f, 0f, right.px2dp, bottom.px2dp) }

/**
 * Returns boundary of the physical screen including system decor elements (if any) like navigation
 * bar in pixels (px).
 */
val Context.physicalScreenRectPx: Rect
    get() = if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
        (applicationContext.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE) as WindowManager)
            .run { DisplayMetrics().also { defaultDisplay.getRealMetrics(it) } }
            .run { Rect(0, 0, widthPixels, heightPixels) }
    } else screenRectPx

/**
 * Returns boundary of the physical screen including system decor elements (if any) like navigation
 * bar in density independent pixels (dp).
 */
val Context.physicalScreenRectDp: RectF
    get() = physicalScreenRectPx.run { RectF(0f, 0f, right.px2dp, bottom.px2dp) }

/**
 * Converts any given number from pixels (px) into density independent pixels (dp).
 */
val Number.px2dp: Float
    get() = this.toFloat() / displayMetrics.density

/**
 * Converts any given number from density independent pixels (dp) into pixels (px).
 */
val Number.dp2px: Int
    get() = (this.toFloat() * displayMetrics.density).roundToInt()

Usage:

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        val widthPx = screenRectPx.width()
        val heightPx = screenRectPx.height()
        println("[PX] screen width: $widthPx , height: $heightPx")

        val widthDp = screenRectDp.width()
        val heightDp = screenRectDp.height()
        println("[DP] screen width: $widthDp , height: $heightDp")

        println()
        
        val physicalWidthPx = physicalScreenRectPx.width()
        val physicalHeightPx = physicalScreenRectPx.height()
        println("[PX] physical screen width: $physicalWidthPx , height: $physicalHeightPx")

        val physicalWidthDp = physicalScreenRectDp.width()
        val physicalHeightDp = physicalScreenRectDp.height()
        println("[DP] physical screen width: $physicalWidthDp , height: $physicalHeightDp")
    }
}

Result:

When the device is in portrait orientation:

[PX] screen width: 1440 , height: 2392
[DP] screen width: 360.0 , height: 598.0

[PX] physical screen width: 1440 , height: 2560
[DP] physical screen width: 360.0 , height: 640.0

When the device is in landscape orientation:

[PX] screen width: 2392 , height: 1440
[DP] screen width: 598.0 , height: 360.0

[PX] physical screen width: 2560 , height: 1440
[DP] physical screen width: 640.0 , height: 360.0

Try below code :-

1.

Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point();
display.getSize(size);
int width = size.x;
int height = size.y;

2.

Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay(); 
int width = display.getWidth();  // deprecated
int height = display.getHeight();  // deprecated

or

int width = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getWidth(); 
int height = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getHeight();

3.

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

metrics.heightPixels;
metrics.widthPixels;

For kotlin user's

fun Activity.displayMetrics(): DisplayMetrics {
   val displayMetrics = DisplayMetrics()
   windowManager.defaultDisplay.getMetrics(displayMetrics)
   return displayMetrics
}

And in Activity you could use it like

     resources.displayMetrics.let { displayMetrics ->
        val height = displayMetrics.heightPixels
        val width = displayMetrics.widthPixels
    }

Or in fragment

    activity?.displayMetrics()?.run {
        val height = heightPixels
        val width = widthPixels
    }

None of the answers here work correctly for Chrome OS multiple displays, or soon-to-come Foldables.

When looking for the current configuration, always use the configuration from your current activity in getResources().getConfiguration(). Do not use the configuration from your background activity or the one from the system resource. The background activity does not have a size, and the system's configuration may contain multiple windows with conflicting sizes and orientations, so no usable data can be extracted.

So the answer is

val config = context.getResources().getConfiguration()
val (screenWidthPx, screenHeightPx) = config.screenWidthDp.dp to config.screenHeightDp.dp

Full way to do it, that returns the true resolution:

            WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
            Point size = new Point();
            wm.getDefaultDisplay().getRealSize(size);
            final int width = size.x, height = size.y;

And since this can change on different orientation, here's a solution (in Kotlin), to get it right no matter the orientation:

/**
 * returns the natural orientation of the device: Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE or Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT .<br></br>
 * The result should be consistent no matter the orientation of the device
 */
@JvmStatic
fun getScreenNaturalOrientation(context: Context): Int {
    //based on : http://stackoverflow.com/a/9888357/878126
    val windowManager = context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE) as WindowManager
    val config = context.resources.configuration
    val rotation = windowManager.defaultDisplay.rotation
    return if ((rotation == Surface.ROTATION_0 || rotation == Surface.ROTATION_180) && config.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE || (rotation == Surface.ROTATION_90 || rotation == Surface.ROTATION_270) && config.orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT)
        Configuration.ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE
    else
        Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT
}

/**
 * returns the natural screen size (in pixels). The result should be consistent no matter the orientation of the device
 */
@JvmStatic
fun getScreenNaturalSize(context: Context): Point {
    val screenNaturalOrientation = getScreenNaturalOrientation(context)
    val wm = context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE) as WindowManager
    val point = Point()
    wm.defaultDisplay.getRealSize(point)
    val currentOrientation = context.resources.configuration.orientation
    if (currentOrientation == screenNaturalOrientation)
        return point
    else return Point(point.y, point.x)
}

As an android official document said for the default display use Context#getDisplay() because this method was deprecated in API level 30.

getWindowManager().~~getDefaultDisplay~~().~~getMetrics~~(displayMetrics);

This code given below is in kotlin and is written accodring to the latest version of Android help you determine width and height:

fun getWidth(context: Context): Int {
    var width:Int = 0
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.R) {
        val displayMetrics = DisplayMetrics()
        val display: Display? = context.getDisplay()
        display!!.getRealMetrics(displayMetrics)
        return displayMetrics.widthPixels
    }else{
        val displayMetrics = DisplayMetrics()
        this.windowManager.defaultDisplay.getMetrics(displayMetrics)
        width = displayMetrics.widthPixels
        return width
    }
}

fun getHeight(context: Context): Int {
    var height: Int = 0
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.R) {
        val displayMetrics = DisplayMetrics()
        val display = context.display
        display!!.getRealMetrics(displayMetrics)
        return displayMetrics.heightPixels

This bowl of code help to determine width and height.

    Display display = context.getDisplay();
    if (display != null) {
        display.getRealMetrics(displayMetrics);

For the Height:

public static int getHeight(Context context) {

    Display display = context.getDisplay();
    if (display != null) {
        display.getRealMetrics(displayMetrics);

You can get width and height from context

java:

  int width= context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
  int height= context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels;

kotlin

    val width: Int = context.resources.displayMetrics.widthPixels
    val height: Int = context.resources.displayMetrics.heightPixels

Just use the function below that returns width and height of the screen size as an array of integers

private int[] getScreenSIze(){
        DisplayMetrics displaymetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
        getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displaymetrics);
        int h = displaymetrics.heightPixels;
        int w = displaymetrics.widthPixels;

        int[] size={w,h};
        return size;

    }

On your onCreate function or button click add the following code to output the screen sizes as shown below

 int[] screenSize= getScreenSIze();
        int width=screenSize[0];
        int height=screenSize[1];
        screenSizes.setText("Phone Screen sizes \n\n  width = "+width+" \n Height = "+height);

Screen resolution is total no of pixel in screen. Following program will extract the screen resolution of the device. It will print screen width and height. Those values are in pixel.

public static Point getScreenResolution(Context context) {
// get window managers
WindowManager manager =  (WindowManager)context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
Display display = manager.getDefaultDisplay();
Point point = new Point();
display.getSize(point);

 // get width and height
 int width = point.x;
 int height = point.y;

 return point;

DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displayMetrics);
int height = displayMetrics.heightPixels;
int width = displayMetrics.widthPixels;

this may be not work in some case. for the getMetrics comments:

Gets display metrics that describe the size and density of this display. The size returned by this method does not necessarily represent the actual raw size (native resolution) of the display.

The returned size may be adjusted to exclude certain system decor elements that are always visible.

It may be scaled to provide compatibility with older applications that were originally designed for smaller displays.

It can be different depending on the WindowManager to which the display belongs.

If requested from non-Activity context (e.g. Application context via (WindowManager) getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)) metrics will report the size of the entire display based on current rotation and with subtracted system decoration areas.

If requested from activity (either using getWindowManager() or (WindowManager) getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)) resulting metrics will correspond to current app window metrics. In this case the size can be smaller than physical size in multi-window mode.

So, to get the real size:

DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRealMetrics(displayMetrics);
int height = displayMetrics.heightPixels;
int width = displayMetrics.widthPixels;

or:

Point point = new Point();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getRealSize(point);
int height = point.y;
int width = point.x;

@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1)
  public static double getHeight() {
    DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
    WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
    Display display = wm.getDefaultDisplay();
    display.getRealMetrics(displayMetrics);

    //int height = displayMetrics.heightPixels;
    //int width = displayMetrics.widthPixels;
    return displayMetrics.heightPixels;
  }

Using that method you can get screen height. if you want to get width change displayMetrics.heightPixels to displayMetrics.widthPixels.

And it also include required api Build version.

I updated answer for Kotlin language!

For Kotlin: You should call Window Manager and get metrics. After that easy way.

val displayMetrics = DisplayMetrics()
windowManager.defaultDisplay.getMetrics(displayMetrics)

var width = displayMetrics.widthPixels
var height = displayMetrics.heightPixels

How can we use it effectively in independent activity way with Kotlin language?

Here, I created a method in general Kotlin class. You can use it in all activities.

private val T_GET_SCREEN_WIDTH:String = "screen_width"
private val T_GET_SCREEN_HEIGHT:String = "screen_height"

private fun getDeviceSizes(activity:Activity, whichSize:String):Int{

    val displayMetrics = DisplayMetrics()
    activity.windowManager.defaultDisplay.getMetrics(displayMetrics)

    return when (whichSize){
        T_GET_SCREEN_WIDTH -> displayMetrics.widthPixels
        T_GET_SCREEN_HEIGHT -> displayMetrics.heightPixels
        else -> 0 // Error
    }
}

Seems like all these answers fail for my Galaxy M51 with Android 11. After doing some research around I found this code :

WindowMetrics windowmetrics = MainActivity.getWindowManager().getCurrentWindowMetrics();
Rect rect = windowmetrics.getBounds();
int width = rect.right;
int height =rect.bottom;

shows my true device resolution of 1080x2400, the rest only return 810x1800.

As getMetrics and getRealMetrics are deprecated, Google recommends to determine the screen width and height as follows:

WindowMetrics windowMetrics = getActivity().getWindowManager().getMaximumWindowMetrics();
Rect bounds = windowMetrics.getBounds();
int widthPixels = bounds.width();
int heightPixels = bounds.height();

However, I've figured out another methode that gives me the same results:

Configuration configuration = mContext.getResources().getConfiguration();
Display.Mode mode = display.getMode();
int widthPixels = mode.getPhysicalWidth();
int heightPixels = mode.getPhysicalHeight();
