  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)
DENSITY_XHIGH
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).
See also:
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.

heightPixels
public int heightPixels
The absolute height of the available display size in pixels.
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.
ydpi
public float ydpi
The exact physical pixels per inch of the screen in the Y dimension.
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
     xandy,x.equals(y)should returntrueif and only ify.equals(x)returnstrue.
- It is transitive: for any non-null reference values
     x,y, andz, ifx.equals(y)returnstrueandy.equals(z)returnstrue, thenx.equals(z)should returntrue.
- It is consistent: for any non-null reference values
     xandy, multiple invocations ofx.equals(y)consistently returntrueor consistently returnfalse, provided no information used inequalscomparisons 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 benull. | 
| Returns | |
|---|---|
| boolean | trueif this object is the same as the obj
          argument;falseotherwise. | 
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 hashCodemethod must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used inequalscomparisons 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 equalsmethod, then calling thehashCodemethod 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 equalsmethod, then calling thehashCodemethod 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. |
