DisplayMetrics
public class DisplayMetrics
extends Object
java.lang.Object | |
↳ | android.util.DisplayMetrics |
A structure describing general information about a display, such as its size, density, and font scaling.
To access the DisplayMetrics members, retrieve display metrics like this:
context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
For UI layout, obtain WindowMetrics
from WindowManager.getCurrentWindowMetrics()
. DisplayMetrics
should only be used for obtaining display related properties, such as xdpi
and ydpi
See density
for more information about the differences between xdpi
, ydpi
and density
.

Constant Value: 160 (0x000000a0)
DENSITY_TV
public static final int DENSITY_TV
This is a secondary density, added for some common screen configurations. It is recommended that applications not generally target this as a first class density -- that is, don't supply specific graphics for this density, instead allow the platform to scale from other densities (typically DENSITY_HIGH
) as appropriate. In most cases (such as using bitmaps in Drawable
) the platform can perform this scaling at load time, so the only cost is some slight startup runtime overhead.
This density was original introduced to correspond with a 720p TV screen: the density for 1080p televisions is DENSITY_XHIGH
, and the value here provides the same UI size for a TV running at 720p. It has also found use in 7" tablets, when these devices have 1280x720 displays.
Constant Value: 213 (0x000000d5)

public static final int DENSITY_XHIGH
Standard quantized DPI for extra-high-density screens.
Constant Value: 320 (0x00000140)
DENSITY_XXHIGH
public static final int DENSITY_XXHIGH
Standard quantized DPI for extra-extra-high-density screens.
Constant Value: 480 (0x000001e0)
DENSITY_XXXHIGH
public static final int DENSITY_XXXHIGH
Standard quantized DPI for extra-extra-extra-high-density screens. Applications should not generally worry about this density; relying on XHIGH graphics being scaled up to it should be sufficient for almost all cases. A typical use of this density would be 4K television screens -- 3840x2160, which is 2x a traditional HD 1920x1080 screen which runs at DENSITY_XHIGH.
Constant Value: 640 (0x00000280)
Fields
DENSITY_DEVICE_STABLE
public static final int DENSITY_DEVICE_STABLE
The device's stable density.
This value is constant at run time and may not reflect the current display density. To obtain the current density for a specific display, use densityDpi
.
density
public float density
The logical density of the display. This is a scaling factor for the Density Independent Pixel unit, where one DIP is one pixel on an approximately 160 dpi screen (for example a 240x320, 1.5"x2" screen), providing the baseline of the system's display. Thus on a 160dpi screen this density value will be 1; on a 120 dpi screen it would be .75; etc.
This value does not exactly follow the real screen size (as given by xdpi
and ydpi
), but rather is used to scale the size of the overall UI in steps based on gross changes in the display dpi. For example, a 240x320 screen will have a density of 1 even if its width is 1.8", 1.3", etc. However, if the screen resolution is increased to 320x480 but the screen size remained 1.5"x2" then the density would be increased (probably to 1.5).

densityDpi
public int densityDpi
The screen density expressed as dots-per-inch. May be any one of the DENSITY_
constants defined above. New constants are frequently added, and constants added on new Android versions may be backported to previous Android versions, so applications should not strongly rely on density matching one of the enum constants.

scaledDensity
public float scaledDensity
This field was deprecated in API level 34.
this scalar factor is no longer accurate due to adaptive non-linear font scaling. Please use TypedValue.applyDimension(int, float, DisplayMetrics)
or TypedValue.deriveDimension(int, float, DisplayMetrics)
to convert between SP font sizes and pixels.
A scaling factor for fonts displayed on the display. This is the same as density
, except that it may be adjusted in smaller increments at runtime based on a user preference for the font size.
widthPixels
public int widthPixels
The absolute width of the available display size in pixels.
xdpi
public float xdpi
The exact physical pixels per inch of the screen in the X dimension.

public float ydpi

Public constructors
Public methods
equals
public boolean equals (DisplayMetrics other)
Returns true if these display metrics equal the other display metrics.
Parameters | |
---|---|
other | DisplayMetrics : The display metrics with which to compare. |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean | True if the display metrics are equal. |
equals
public boolean equals (Object o)
Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
The equals
method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:
- It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value
x
,x.equals(x)
should returntrue
. - It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values
x
andy
,x.equals(y)
should returntrue
if and only ify.equals(x)
returnstrue
. - It is transitive: for any non-null reference values
x
,y
, andz
, ifx.equals(y)
returnstrue
andy.equals(z)
returnstrue
, thenx.equals(z)
should returntrue
. - It is consistent: for any non-null reference values
x
andy
, multiple invocations ofx.equals(y)
consistently returntrue
or consistently returnfalse
, provided no information used inequals
comparisons on the objects is modified. - For any non-null reference value
x
,x.equals(null)
should returnfalse
.
An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.
Parameters | |
---|---|
o | Object : This value may be null . |
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean | true if this object is the same as the obj argument; false otherwise. |
hashCode
public int hashCode ()
Returns a hash code value for the object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by HashMap
.
The general contract of hashCode
is:
- Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the
hashCode
method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used inequals
comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application. - If two objects are equal according to the
equals
method, then calling thehashCode
method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result. - It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the
equals
method, then calling thehashCode
method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.
Returns | |
---|---|
int | a hash code value for this object. |
toString
public String toString ()
Returns a string representation of the object.
Returns | |
---|---|
String | a string representation of the object. |
