Height of statusbar?

Question

Is there a way to get the height of the statusbar + titlebar? Checking the dev forum shows the same question but no solution (that I could find).

I know we can get it after the initial layout pass, but I'm looking to get it in onCreate() of my activity.

Thanks

Answer 1

Rect rectgle= new Rect(); Window window= getWindow(); window.getDecorView().getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(rectgle); int StatusBarHeight= rectgle.top; int contentViewTop=      window.findViewById(Window.ID_ANDROID_CONTENT).getTop(); int TitleBarHeight= contentViewTop - StatusBarHeight;     Log.i("*** Jorgesys :: ", "StatusBar Height= " + StatusBarHeight + " , TitleBar Height = " + TitleBarHeight);  

Get the Height of the status bar on the onCreate() method of your Activity, use this method:

public int getStatusBarHeight() {        int result = 0;       int resourceId = getResources().getIdentifier("status_bar_height", "dimen", "android");       if (resourceId > 0) {           result = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId);       }        return result; }  

Answer 2

For those, like me, who want to use it in your XML layouts:

<...   android:layout_marginTop="@*android:dimen/status_bar_height"   ... /> 

Don't be confused by that Android Studio (2.2 Preview 3 -- at the moment of writing) doesn't support this notion. The runtime does. I took it from the Google's source code.
