Android: Samsung S4 Screen size

Question

I am trying to figure out the dimensions for the S4. What is the width and height. I want to create graphics and place them based on h and w. I read that the screen size ranges from 0-h and 0-w, but what are h and w?

Answer 1

Here's some handy code if you need to find the size of various devices:

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

Answer 2

S4 screen specs are 1080 x 1920, but you shouldn't use the actual screen size in pixels in your code. Just use dp - which is a size which is independent in the screen density to design you Android app UI, this way, it will behave nicely for all screen sizes.
