Height of status bar in Android

Question

What's the height of the status bar in Android? Is it always the same?

From my measurements it seems that it's 25dp, but I'm not sure if it has the same height on all platforms.

(I want to know this to properly implement a fade transition from an activity that doesn't have status bar to one that does)

Answer 1

this also work with the refrence link

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

the height of the status bar is 24dp in android 6.0

 <!-- Height of the status bar -->
 <dimen name="status_bar_height">24dp</dimen>
 <!-- Height of the bottom navigation / system bar. -->
 <dimen name="navigation_bar_height">48dp</dimen>

you can find the answer in the source code: frameworks\base\core\res\res\values\dimens.xml

Answer 3

this question was answered before... Height of statusbar?

Update::

Current method:

ok, the height of the status bar depends on the screen size, for example in a device with 240 X 320 screen size the status bar height is 20px, for a device with 320 X 480 screen size the status bar height is 25px, for a device with 480 x 800 the status bar height must be 38px

so i recommend to use this script to get the status bar height

Rect rectangle = new Rect();
Window window = getWindow();
window.getDecorView().getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(rectangle);
int statusBarHeight = rectangle.top;
int contentViewTop = 
    window.findViewById(Window.ID_ANDROID_CONTENT).getTop();
int titleBarHeight= contentViewTop - statusBarHeight;

   Log.i("*** Elenasys :: ", "StatusBar Height= " + statusBarHeight + " , TitleBar Height = " + titleBarHeight); 

(old Method) to 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;
}

Yes when i try it with View it provides the result of 25px. Here is the whole code :

public class SpinActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        LinearLayout lySpin = new LinearLayout(this);
        lySpin.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);       
        lySpin.post(new Runnable()
        {
            public void run()
            {
                Rect rect = new Rect();
                Window window = getWindow();
                window.getDecorView().getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame(rect);
                int statusBarHeight = rect.top;
                int contentViewTop = 
                    window.findViewById(Window.ID_ANDROID_CONTENT).getTop();
                int titleBarHeight = contentViewTop - statusBarHeight;
                System.out.println("TitleBarHeight: " + titleBarHeight 
                    + ", StatusBarHeight: " + statusBarHeight);
            }
        }
    }
}

Answer 5

I have the same problem of having to get the status bar height in an onCreate. This works for me.

private static final int LOW_DPI_STATUS_BAR_HEIGHT = 19;

private static final int MEDIUM_DPI_STATUS_BAR_HEIGHT = 25;

private static final int HIGH_DPI_STATUS_BAR_HEIGHT = 38;

Inside the onCreate:

DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
((WindowManager) getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE)).getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(displayMetrics);

int statusBarHeight;

switch (displayMetrics.densityDpi) {
    case DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_HIGH:
        statusBarHeight = HIGH_DPI_STATUS_BAR_HEIGHT;
        break;
    case DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_MEDIUM:
        statusBarHeight = MEDIUM_DPI_STATUS_BAR_HEIGHT;
        break;
    case DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_LOW:
        statusBarHeight = LOW_DPI_STATUS_BAR_HEIGHT;
        break;
    default:
        statusBarHeight = MEDIUM_DPI_STATUS_BAR_HEIGHT;
}

On Android 4.1 and higher, you can set your application's content to appear behind the status bar, so that the content doesn't resize as the status bar hides and shows. To do this, use SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_FULLSCREEN. You may also need to use SYSTEM_UI_FLAG_LAYOUT_STABLE to help your app maintain a stable layout.

When you use this approach, it becomes your responsibility to ensure that critical parts of your app's UI (for example, the built-in controls in a Maps application) don't end up getting covered by system bars. This could make your app unusable. In most cases you can handle this by adding the android:fitsSystemWindows attribute to your XML layout file, set to true. This adjusts the padding of the parent ViewGroup to leave space for the system windows. This is sufficient for most applications.

In some cases, however, you may need to modify the default padding to get the desired layout for your app. To directly manipulate how your content lays out relative to the system bars (which occupy a space known as the window's "content insets"), override fitSystemWindows(Rect insets). The fitSystemWindows() method is called by the view hierarchy when the content insets for a window have changed, to allow the window to adjust its content accordingly. By overriding this method you can handle the insets (and hence your app's layout) however you want.
