Can Screen Size Be Determined?

[briant1972]

Let's say I have a couple of layouts, one I want to use for phones and the other for tablets. The problem I have is both the tablet I have and some phones (like the HTC EVO) are 480 X 800 and have a scale of 1, so I can't use a combination of those to figure out that the tablet has the bigger screen. Is there a way to determine the actual device screen size?

You can have several variants for your project, Android will load automatically the one for the device.

You can determine the screen size using GetDeviceLayoutValues

Ooops. Thanks for the reply. I added a check to my program to show the scale and the width and didn't notice that the 480 x 800 phone returns a density of 1.5 where the 480 x 800 tablet returns a density of 1. My fault. Feel stupid. Thanks for the help though.
