Is It Safe To Use .getwidth On Display Even Though Its Deprecated

So i have a small problem, i'm writing a function which need to send screen width to server. I got it all to work, and i use: Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay

Solution 1:

May be this approach will be helpful:

DisplayMetricsdisplaymetrics=newDisplayMetrics();
mContext.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displaymetrics);
intscreenWidth= displaymetrics.widthPixels;
intscreenHeight= displaymetrics.heightPixels;

Solution 2:

You can check for API level at runtime, and choose which to use, e.g.:

finalintversion= android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
finalint width;
if (version >= 13)
{
    Pointsize=newPoint();
    display.getSize(size);
    width = size.x;
}
else
{
    Displaydisplay= getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay(); 
    width = display.getWidth();
}

Solution 3:

If you want to be correct, use this approach:

intsdk= android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB_MR2) {
    Displaydisplay= getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
    intwidth= display.getWidth();
} else {
    Pointsize=newPoint();
    display.getSize(size);
}

Solution 4:

Here is the latest Code without Deprecation.

Kotlin

val metrics: DisplayMetrics = this.getResources().getDisplayMetrics()
 val width = metrics.widthPixels

Java

DisplayMetricsmetrics= context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
  intwidth= metrics.widthPixels;
  intheight= metrics.heightPixels;
