Android Question Activity height and Status, Action and Navigation bars.

[Tom_707]

An Android phone has a Status, Action and Navigation bar. Which of these are included and which are excluded when calculating the height of the Activity.Height property?

There is not a simple answer to your question, see: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...vity-height-still-an-issue.114435/post-714909

Generally speaking, the Activity.Height is the height of the "usable" screen area (total size less any OS bars that may be there).

All three are excluded.

Thanks Jeffrey, I'll check your post out.

Hi Erel, I know you can use 100%y to get the usable height.
But just for informational purposes, what are the heights of the three bars? Are they based as a percentage of the screen height?

Don't assume any specific height. Different devices will show different heights.

OK. Thanks Erel.
