Programmatically get launcher's icon size

Question

I'm trying to programmatically get the launcher's icon size. It differs between devices. I don't have the assets in advance, I'm creating them.

Can I somehow query for the right icon dimensions for the specific launcher?

Answer 1

DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);
switch(metrics.densityDpi){
     case DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_LOW:
                break;
     case DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_MEDIUM:
                 break;
     case DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_HIGH:
                 break;
}

After getting the density... you will know which launcher icon is used and their Dimensions.
