Get Full Screen Size Including Status Bar & Navigation Bar

Few Android devices have bottom software navigation bars which include back & home buttons. In this article, I am going to share a utility method to get full screen size including top status bar & bottom navigation bar in Android in both Java & Kotlin.

If you want to get screen size without including the top status bar and bottom navigation bar, then visit the following tutorial.

Get Full Screen Size in Java

You can use the following method to get the screen width and height in JAVA. It takes Context as a parameter and returns an integer array. In the returned array index 0 contains the width and index 1 contains the height of the screen.

///  Get Screen width & height including top & bottom navigation bar
    public static int[] getScreenSizeInlcudingTopBottomBar(Context context) {
        int [] screenDimensions = new int[2]; // width[0], height[1]
        int x, y, orientation = context.getResources().getConfiguration().orientation;
        WindowManager wm = ((WindowManager)
            context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE));
        Display display = wm.getDefaultDisplay();
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB_MR2) {
            Point screenSize = new Point();
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
                display.getRealSize(screenSize);
                x = screenSize.x;
                y = screenSize.y;
            } else {
                display.getSize(screenSize);
                x = screenSize.x;
                y = screenSize.y;
            }
        } else {
            x = display.getWidth();
            y = display.getHeight();
        }

        screenDimensions[0] = orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT ? x : y; // width
        screenDimensions[1] = orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT ? y : x; // height

        return screenDimensions;
    }

Get Full Screen Size in Kotlin

In Kotlin, use the following method to get the screen width and height, It takes Context as a parameter and returns an integer array. Same as above, the returned array’s index 0 contains the width and index 1 contains the height of the screen.

///  Get Screen width & height including top & bottom navigation bar
    fun getScreenSizeInlcudingTopBottomBar(context: Context): IntArray {
        val screenDimensions = IntArray(2) // width[0], height[1]
        val x: Int
        val y: Int
        val orientation = context.resources.configuration.orientation
        val wm = context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE) as WindowManager
        val display = wm.defaultDisplay
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB_MR2) {
            val screenSize = Point()
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
                display.getRealSize(screenSize)
                x = screenSize.x
                y = screenSize.y
            } else {
                display.getSize(screenSize)
                x = screenSize.x
                y = screenSize.y
            }
        } else {
            x = display.width
            y = display.height
        }
        screenDimensions[0] = if (orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) x else y // width
        screenDimensions[1] = if (orientation == Configuration.ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT) y else x // height
        return screenDimensions
    }

That’s it. This is how to get full-screen size including the software navigation bar and top status bar in Android. Both of the above methods use WindowManager & DisplayMetrics interfaces to get the screen dimensions.
