How can I get the width of the Screen

Hi

To create a dynamic layout I need to know the width and/or the height of the screen.
Is there any system variable or sth?

I tried the following:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

        AbsoluteLayout absLayoutMain = new AbsoluteLayout(this);
 
        mDebug = new TextView(this);
 
        String s = Integer.toString(absLayoutMain.getHeight());  //get the height from the super View      
 
        mDebug.setText(s);
 
        absLayoutMain.addView(mDebug,
 
                        new AbsoluteLayout.LayoutParams(100, 100, 50, 50));        
 
        setContentView(absLayoutMain)
 
Parsed in 0.032 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

But it keeps me telling the Views height is "0".

Any ideas how to work this out?

greets

Soooo...I found a way to get the display's height/width:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

        WindowManager a = this.getWindowManager();
 
        Display v = a.getDefaultDisplay();
 
        String s = "Height: " + v.getHeight();
 
        String b = "Widtht: " + v.getWidth();
Parsed in 0.031 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

You may use this in a FAQ or sth
