Android getHeight returns a wrong value

Question

I've got a class where i draw some line with canvas. In this class i want to use the height and the width of the screen. But there is a problem. I have a device with a scren 480x800. But when i call the function getWidth() and getHeight() so:

height = getHeight();
width = getWidth();

The width is correct because the width value is 480. But the height value is 483, and should be 800. Does anyone know why?

Answer 1

when you use getHeight(); in your view it give you height of your view no height of screen .see this link Get screen dimensions in pixels
