How do I get the height and width of the Android Navigation Bar programmatically?
Try below code:
Resources resources = context.getResources();
int resourceId = resources.getIdentifier("navigation_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
if (resourceId > 0) {
return resources.getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId);
}
return 0;
I get navigation bar size by comparing app-usable screen size with real screen size. I assume that navigation bar is present when app-usable screen size is smaller than real screen size. Then I calculate navigation bar size. This method works with API 14 and up.
public static Point getNavigationBarSize(Context context) {
Point appUsableSize = getAppUsableScreenSize(context);
Point realScreenSize = getRealScreenSize(context);
// navigation bar on the side
if (appUsableSize.x < realScreenSize.x) {
return new Point(realScreenSize.x - appUsableSize.x, appUsableSize.y);
}
// navigation bar at the bottom
if (appUsableSize.y < realScreenSize.y) {
return new Point(appUsableSize.x, realScreenSize.y - appUsableSize.y);
}
// navigation bar is not present
return new Point();
}
public static Point getAppUsableScreenSize(Context context) {
WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
Display display = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point();
display.getSize(size);
return size;
}
public static Point getRealScreenSize(Context context) {
WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
Display display = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay();
Point size = new Point();
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 17) {
display.getRealSize(size);
} else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 14) {
try {
size.x = (Integer) Display.class.getMethod("getRawWidth").invoke(display);
size.y = (Integer) Display.class.getMethod("getRawHeight").invoke(display);
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {}
}
return size;
}
UPDATE
For a solution that takes into account display cutouts please check John's answer.
