If you've got a view (any view) within your activity's content, you can call:
view.getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View.html#getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(android.graphics.Rect) >>> Retrieve the overall visible display size in which the window this view is attached to has been positioned in. This takes into account screen decorations above the window, for both cases where the window itself is being position inside of them or the window is being placed under then and covered insets are used for the window to position its content inside. In effect, this tells you the available area where content can be placed and remain visible to users. <<< -- K 2012/9/12 hwrdprkns <[email protected]> > That is not the case.
