Category: Screen Size

Screen Size for iOS, Android and Windows Phone from C# with Xamarin in Shared Code.

To get the screen size from either iOS, Android, or Windows Phone you could use the following examples:

//ANDROID
int intHeight = (int)Resources.DisplayMetrics.HeightPixels / Resources.DisplayMetrics.Density;
int intWidth = (int)Resources.DisplayMetrics.WidthPixels / Resources.DisplayMetrics.Density;
 
//IOS
int intHeight = UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Height; 
int intWidth = UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Width;
 
//WINPHONE
int intHeight = Window.Current.Bounds.Height; 
int intWidth = Window.Current.Bounds.Width;

To get screen size from any one of the platforms in a shared code base you could include conditional compile directives as follows:

 
int intHeight = 0;
int intWidth = 0;
 
#if __ANDROID__
	intHeight = (int)Resources.DisplayMetrics.HeightPixels / Resources.DisplayMetrics.Density;
	intWidth = (int)Resources.DisplayMetrics.WidthPixels / Resources.DisplayMetrics.Density;
#end if 
 
#if __IOS___
	intHeight = UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Height; 
	intWidth = UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Width;
#endif
 
#if WINDOWS_PHONE_APP
	intHeight = Window.Current.Bounds.Height; 
	intWidth = Window.Current.Bounds.Width;
#endif
