Since this hit high in google search I thought I'd update it with how I
currently get screen width. I am not saying its the best way (maybe
though)... but Display.getWidth is deprecated so Philips code from 2008
should not be used. Cheers.
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getActivity().getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);
mScreenWidth = getDps(metrics.widthPixels);
}
