Display

public final class Display
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.view.Display


Provides information about the size and density of a logical display.

The display area is described in two different ways.

  • The application display area specifies the part of the display that may contain an application window, excluding the system decorations. The application display area may be smaller than the real display area because the system subtracts the space needed for decor elements such as the status bar. Use WindowMetrics#getBounds() to query the application window bounds.
  • The real display area specifies the part of the display that is accessible to an application in the current system state. The real display area may be smaller than the physical size of the display in a few scenarios. Use WindowManager#getCurrentWindowMetrics() to identify the current size of the activity window. UI-related work, such as choosing UI layouts, should rely upon WindowMetrics#getBounds(). See getRealSize(Point) / getRealMetrics(DisplayMetrics) for details.

A logical display does not necessarily represent a particular physical display device such as the internal display or an external display. The contents of a logical display may be presented on one or more physical displays according to the devices that are currently attached and whether mirroring has been enabled.

Inherited methods

Constants

DEFAULT_DISPLAY

Added in API level 1
public static final int DEFAULT_DISPLAY

The default Display id, which is the id of the primary display assuming there is one.

Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)

FLAG_PRESENTATION

Added in API level 19
public static final int FLAG_PRESENTATION

Display flag: Indicates that the display is a presentation display.

This flag identifies secondary displays that are suitable for use as presentation displays such as external or wireless displays. Applications may automatically project their content to presentation displays to provide richer second screen experiences.

See also:

Constant Value: 8 (0x00000008)

FLAG_PRIVATE

Added in API level 19
public static final int FLAG_PRIVATE

Display flag: Indicates that the display is private. Only the application that owns the display and apps that are already on the display can create windows on it.

See also:

Constant Value: 4 (0x00000004)

FLAG_ROUND

Added in API level 23
public static final int FLAG_ROUND

Display flag: Indicates that the display has a round shape.

This flag identifies displays that are circular, elliptical or otherwise do not permit the user to see all the way to the logical corners of the display.

See also:

Constant Value: 16 (0x00000010)

FLAG_SECURE

Added in API level 17
public static final int FLAG_SECURE

Display flag: Indicates that the display has a secure video output and supports compositing secure surfaces.

If this flag is set then the display device has a secure video output and is capable of showing secure surfaces. It may also be capable of showing protected buffers.

If this flag is not set then the display device may not have a secure video output; the user may see a blank region on the screen instead of the contents of secure surfaces or protected buffers.

Secure surfaces are used to prevent content rendered into those surfaces by applications from appearing in screenshots or from being viewed on non-secure displays. Protected buffers are used by secure video decoders for a similar purpose.

An application creates a window with a secure surface by specifying the WindowManager.LayoutParams#FLAG_SECURE window flag. Likewise, an application creates a SurfaceView with a secure surface by calling SurfaceView#setSecure before attaching the secure view to its containing window.

An application can use the absence of this flag as a hint that it should not create secure surfaces or protected buffers on this display because the content may not be visible. For example, if the flag is not set then the application may choose not to show content on this display, show an informative error message, select an alternate content stream or adopt a different strategy for decoding content that does not rely on secure surfaces or protected buffers.

See also:

Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)

FLAG_SUPPORTS_PROTECTED_BUFFERS

Added in API level 17
public static final int FLAG_SUPPORTS_PROTECTED_BUFFERS

Display flag: Indicates that the display supports compositing content that is stored in protected graphics buffers.

If this flag is set then the display device supports compositing protected buffers.

If this flag is not set then the display device may not support compositing protected buffers; the user may see a blank region on the screen instead of the protected content.

Secure (DRM) video decoders may allocate protected graphics buffers to request that a hardware-protected path be provided between the video decoder and the external display sink. If a hardware-protected path is not available, then content stored in protected graphics buffers may not be composited.

An application can use the absence of this flag as a hint that it should not use protected buffers for this display because the content may not be visible. For example, if the flag is not set then the application may choose not to show content on this display, show an informative error message, select an alternate content stream or adopt a different strategy for decoding content that does not rely on protected buffers.

STATE_DOZE_SUSPEND

Added in API level 21
public static final int STATE_DOZE_SUSPEND

Display state: The display is dozing in a suspended low power state; it is still on but the CPU is not updating it.

Public methods

getAppVsyncOffsetNanos

Added in API level 21
public long getAppVsyncOffsetNanos ()

Gets the app VSYNC offset, in nanoseconds. This is a positive value indicating the phase offset of the VSYNC events provided by Choreographer relative to the display refresh. For example, if Choreographer reports that the refresh occurred at time N, it actually occurred at (N - appVsyncOffset).

Apps generally do not need to be aware of this. It's only useful for fine-grained A/V synchronization.

Returns
long

getCurrentSizeRange

Added in API level 16
public void getCurrentSizeRange (Point outSmallestSize, 
                Point outLargestSize)

Return the range of display sizes an application can expect to encounter under normal operation, as long as there is no physical change in screen size. This is basically the sizes you will see as the orientation changes, taking into account whatever screen decoration there is in each rotation. For example, the status bar is always at the top of the screen, so it will reduce the height both in landscape and portrait, and the smallest height returned here will be the smaller of the two. This is intended for applications to get an idea of the range of sizes they will encounter while going through device rotations, to provide a stable UI through rotation. The sizes here take into account all standard system decorations that reduce the size actually available to the application: the status bar, navigation bar, system bar, etc. It does not take into account more transient elements like an IME soft keyboard.

Parameters
outSmallestSize Point: Filled in with the smallest width and height that the application will encounter, in pixels (not dp units). The x (width) dimension here directly corresponds to Configuration.smallestScreenWidthDp, except the value here is in raw screen pixels rather than dp units. Your application may of course still get smaller space yet if, for example, a soft keyboard is being displayed.

outLargestSize Point: Filled in with the largest width and height that the application will encounter, in pixels (not dp units). Your application may of course still get larger space than this if, for example, screen decorations like the status bar are being hidden.

getCutout

Added in API level 29
public DisplayCutout getCutout ()

Returns the DisplayCutout, or null if there is none.

Returns
DisplayCutout

See also:

getDeviceProductInfo

Added in API level 31
public DeviceProductInfo getDeviceProductInfo ()

Returns the product-specific information about the display or the directly connected device on the display chain. For example, if the display is transitively connected, this field may contain product information about the intermediate device. Returns null if product information is not available.

Returns
DeviceProductInfo

getDisplayId

Added in API level 1
public int getDisplayId ()

Gets the display id.

Each logical display has a unique id. The default display has id DEFAULT_DISPLAY.

Returns
int

getFlags

Added in API level 17
public int getFlags ()

Returns a combination of flags that describe the capabilities of the display.

Returns
int The display flags.

getHdrCapabilities

Added in API level 24
public Display.HdrCapabilities getHdrCapabilities ()

Returns the current display mode's HDR capabilities.

Returns
Display.HdrCapabilities

See also:

getHdrSdrRatio

Added in API level 34
public float getHdrSdrRatio ()

Returns
float The current hdr/sdr ratio expressed as the ratio of targetHdrPeakBrightnessInNits / targetSdrWhitePointInNits. If isHdrSdrRatioAvailable() is false, this always returns 1.0f.

getHeight

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 15
public int getHeight ()

This method was deprecated in API level 15.
Use WindowMetrics#getBounds() instead.

Returns
int

getMetrics

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 30
public void getMetrics (DisplayMetrics outMetrics)

This method was deprecated in API level 30.
Use WindowMetrics#getBounds() to get the dimensions of the application window. Use WindowMetrics#getDensity() to get the density of the application window.

Gets the size and density of this display.

The size returned does not necessarily represent the actual size (native resolution) of the display. The returned size might be adjusted to exclude certain system decor elements that are always visible, or the size might be scaled to provide compatibility with older applications that were originally designed for smaller displays.

The returned size can also be different depending on the WindowManager associated with the display:

  • If metrics are requested from an activity (either using a WindowManager accessed by getWindowManager() or getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)), the returned metrics provide the size of the current app window. As a result, in multi-window mode, the returned size can be smaller than the size of the device screen.
  • If metrics are requested from a non-activity context (for example, the application context, where the WindowManager is accessed by getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)), the returned size can vary depending on API level:
    • API level 29 and below — The returned metrics provide the size of the entire display (based on current rotation) minus system decoration areas.
    • API level 30 and above — The returned metrics provide the size of the top running activity in the current process. If the current process has no running activities, the metrics provide the size of the default display of the device, including system decoration areas.

Parameters
outMetrics DisplayMetrics: A DisplayMetrics object which receives the display metrics.

getMode

Added in API level 23
public Display.Mode getMode ()

Returns the active mode of the display.

Returns
Display.Mode

public OverlayProperties getOverlaySupport ()

Returns the OverlayProperties of the display.

Returns
OverlayProperties This value cannot be null.

getPixelFormat

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 17
public int getPixelFormat ()

This method was deprecated in API level 17.
This method is no longer supported. The result is always PixelFormat#RGBA_8888.

Gets the pixel format of the display.

Returns
int One of the constants defined in PixelFormat.

getPreferredWideGamutColorSpace

Added in API level 29
public ColorSpace getPreferredWideGamutColorSpace ()

Returns the preferred wide color space of the Display. The returned wide gamut color space is based on hardware capability and is preferred by the composition pipeline. Returns null if the display doesn't support wide color gamut. Display#isWideColorGamut().

Returns
ColorSpace

getPresentationDeadlineNanos

Added in API level 21
public long getPresentationDeadlineNanos ()

This is how far in advance a buffer must be queued for presentation at a given time. If you want a buffer to appear on the screen at time N, you must submit the buffer before (N - presentationDeadline).

The desired presentation time for GLES rendering may be set with EGLExt.eglPresentationTimeANDROID(EGLDisplay, EGLSurface, long). For video decoding, use MediaCodec.releaseOutputBuffer(int, long). Times are expressed in nanoseconds, using the system monotonic clock (System#nanoTime).

Returns
long

getRealMetrics

Added in API level 17
Deprecated in API level 31
public void getRealMetrics (DisplayMetrics outMetrics)

This method was deprecated in API level 31.
Use WindowManager#getCurrentWindowMetrics() to identify the current size of the activity window. UI-related work, such as choosing UI layouts, should rely upon WindowMetrics#getBounds(). Use Configuration#densityDpi to get the current density.

Gets the size of the largest region of the display accessible to an app in the current system state, without subtracting any window decor or applying scaling factors.

The size is adjusted based on the current rotation of the display.

The returned size will fall into one of these scenarios:
  1. The device has no partitions on the display. The returned value is the largest region of the display accessible to an app in the current system state, regardless of windowing mode.
  2. The device divides a single display into multiple partitions. An application is restricted to a portion of the display. This is common in devices where the display changes size, such as foldables or large screens. The returned size will match the portion of the display the application is restricted to.
  3. The window manager is emulating a different display size, using adb shell wm size. The returned size will match the emulated display size.

The returned value is unsuitable to use when sizing and placing UI elements, since it does not reflect the application window size in any of these scenarios. WindowManager#getCurrentWindowMetrics() is an alternative that returns the size of the current application window, even if the window is on a device with a partitioned display. This helps prevent UI bugs where UI elements are misaligned or placed beyond the bounds of the window.

Handling multi-window mode correctly is necessary since applications are not always fullscreen. A user on a large screen device, such as a tablet or ChromeOS devices, is more likely to use multi-window modes.

For example, consider a device with a display partitioned into two halves. The user may have a fullscreen application open on the first partition. They may have two applications open in split screen (an example of multi-window mode) on the second partition, with each application consuming half of the partition. In this case, WindowManager#getCurrentWindowMetrics() reports the fullscreen window is half of the screen in size, and each split screen window is a quarter of the screen in size. On the other hand, getRealMetrics(DisplayMetrics) reports half of the screen size for all windows, since the application windows are all restricted to their respective partitions.

Parameters
outMetrics DisplayMetrics: A DisplayMetrics object to receive the metrics.

getRealSize

Added in API level 17
Deprecated in API level 31
public void getRealSize (Point outSize)

This method was deprecated in API level 31.
Use WindowManager#getCurrentWindowMetrics() to identify the current size of the activity window. UI-related work, such as choosing UI layouts, should rely upon WindowMetrics#getBounds().

Gets the size of the largest region of the display accessible to an app in the current system state, without subtracting any window decor or applying scaling factors.

The size is adjusted based on the current rotation of the display.

On the other hand, getRealSize(Point) reports half of the screen size for all windows, since the application windows are all restricted to their respective partitions.

Parameters
outSize Point: Set to the real size of the display.

getRectSize

Added in API level 13
Deprecated in API level 30
public void getRectSize (Rect outSize)

This method was deprecated in API level 30.
Use WindowMetrics#getBounds() to get the dimensions of the application window.

Gets the size of the display as a rectangle, in pixels.

Parameters
outSize Rect: A Rect object to receive the size information.

getRefreshRate

Added in API level 1
public float getRefreshRate ()

Gets the refresh rate of this display in frames per second.

Returns
float

getRotation

Added in API level 8
public int getRotation ()

Returns the rotation of the screen from its "natural" orientation. The returned value may be Surface.ROTATION_0 (no rotation), Surface.ROTATION_90, Surface.ROTATION_180, or Surface.ROTATION_270. For example, if a device has a naturally tall screen, and the user has turned it on its side to go into a landscape orientation, the value returned here may be either Surface.ROTATION_90 or Surface.ROTATION_270 depending on the direction it was turned. The angle is the rotation of the drawn graphics on the screen, which is the opposite direction of the physical rotation of the device. For example, if the device is rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise, to compensate rendering will be rotated by 90 degrees clockwise and thus the returned value here will be Surface.ROTATION_90. This rotation value will match the results of getMetrics(DisplayMetrics): this means that the rotation value will correspond to the activity if accessed through the activity.

Returns
int Value is Surface.ROTATION_0, Surface.ROTATION_90, Surface.ROTATION_180, or Surface.ROTATION_270

getRoundedCorner

Added in API level 31
public RoundedCorner getRoundedCorner (int position)

Returns the RoundedCorner of the given position if there is one.

Parameters
position int: the position of the rounded corner on the display. Value is RoundedCorner.POSITION_TOP_LEFT, RoundedCorner.POSITION_TOP_RIGHT, RoundedCorner.POSITION_BOTTOM_RIGHT, or RoundedCorner.POSITION_BOTTOM_LEFT

Returns
RoundedCorner the rounded corner of the given position. Returns null if there is none.

getShape

Added in API level 34
public DisplayShape getShape ()

Returns the DisplayShape which is based on display coordinates. To get the DisplayShape based on the window frame, use WindowInsets#getDisplayShape() instead.

Returns
DisplayShape This value cannot be null.

See also:

getSize

Added in API level 13
Deprecated in API level 30
public void getSize (Point outSize)

This method was deprecated in API level 30.
Use WindowMetrics instead. Obtain a WindowMetrics instance by calling WindowManager#getCurrentWindowMetrics(), then call WindowMetrics#getBounds() to get the dimensions of the application window.

Gets the size of the display in pixels.

The return value does not necessarily represent the actual size (native resolution) of the display. The returned size might be adjusted to exclude certain system decor elements that are always visible, or the size might be scaled to provide compatibility with older applications that were originally designed for smaller displays.

The returned size can also be different depending on the WindowManager bound to the display:

  • If size is requested from an activity (either using a WindowManager accessed by getWindowManager() or getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)), the size of the current app window is returned. As a result, in multi-window mode, the returned size can be smaller than the size of the device screen.
  • If size is requested from a non-activity context (for example, the application context, where the WindowManager is accessed by getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)), the returned size can vary depending on API level:
    • API level 29 and below — The size of the entire display (based on current rotation) minus system decoration areas is returned.
    • API level 30 and above — The size of the top running activity in the current process is returned. If the current process has no running activities, the size of the device default display, including system decoration areas, is returned.

For layout purposes, apps should make a request from an activity context to obtain the size of the display area available for app content.

Parameters
outSize Point: A Point object which receives the display size information.

getState

Added in API level 20
public int getState ()

Gets the state of the display, such as whether it is on or off.

Returns
int The state of the display: one of STATE_OFF, STATE_ON, STATE_DOZE, STATE_DOZE_SUSPEND, STATE_ON_SUSPEND, or STATE_UNKNOWN.

getSupportedModes

Added in API level 23
public Mode[] getSupportedModes ()

Gets the supported modes of this display.

Returns
Mode[]

getSupportedRefreshRates

Added in API level 21
Deprecated in API level 23
public float[] getSupportedRefreshRates ()

This method was deprecated in API level 23.
use getSupportedModes() instead

Get the supported refresh rates of this display in frames per second.

This method only returns refresh rates for the display's default modes. For more options, use getSupportedModes().

Returns
float[]

getWidth

Added in API level 1
Deprecated in API level 15
public int getWidth ()

This method was deprecated in API level 15.
Use WindowMetrics#getBounds instead.

Returns
int

isHdr

Added in API level 26
public boolean isHdr ()

Returns whether this display supports any HDR type.

Returns
boolean

isHdrSdrRatioAvailable

Added in API level 34
public boolean isHdrSdrRatioAvailable ()

Returns
boolean Whether the display supports reporting an hdr/sdr ratio. If this is false, getHdrSdrRatio() will always be 1.0f

isMinimalPostProcessingSupported

Added in API level 30
public boolean isMinimalPostProcessingSupported ()

Returns true if the connected display can be switched into a mode with minimal post processing.

If the Display sink is connected via HDMI, this method will return true if the display supports either Auto Low Latency Mode or Game Content Type.

If the Display sink has an internal connection or uses some other protocol than HDMI, this method will return true if the sink can be switched into an implementation-defined low latency image processing mode.

The ability to switch to a mode with minimal post processing may be disabled by a user setting in the system settings menu. In that case, this method returns false.

Returns
boolean

isValid

Added in API level 17
public boolean isValid ()

Returns true if this display is still valid, false if the display has been removed. If the display is invalid, then the methods of this class will continue to report the most recently observed display information. However, it is unwise (and rather fruitless) to continue using a Display object after the display's demise. It's possible for a display that was previously invalid to become valid again if a display with the same id is reconnected.

Returns
boolean True if the display is still valid.

isWideColorGamut

Added in API level 26
public boolean isWideColorGamut ()

Returns whether this display can be used to display wide color gamut content. This does not necessarily mean the device itself can render wide color gamut content. To ensure wide color gamut content can be produced, refer to Configuration#isScreenWideColorGamut().

Returns
boolean

registerHdrSdrRatioChangedListener

Added in API level 34
