Getting the size of the window WITHOUT title/notification bars

Use View.MeasureSpec.getSize method in onMeasure override.

    @Override
protected void onMeasure (int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec)
{
    super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
    int width = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
    int height = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
    ...
}

I have a tutorial on my blog that give you the ability to save your screen size on launch, You can read it here: http://evgeni-shafran.blogspot.com/2011/01/android-screen-size-problem.html

Basicly you need to overide an onMeasure method of the first layout that hold you full screen, and get the width and height from there
