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

If you know exactly the size VS height

like

for example in 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

then you can just get the width of your view / the screen size you can just use an if else statement to get the height of status bar

This issue recently became relevant for me because of the notch in my Pixel 3XL   I really liked android developer s solution  but I wanted to be able to get the status bar height at will  since it was specifically necessary for a full screen animation that I needed to play   The function below enabled a reliable query   private val DEFAULT INSET   96 fun getInsets view  View    Int        var inset   DEFAULT INSET      if  Build VERSION SDK INT  gt   Build VERSION CODES M     Safe because only P supports notches           inset   view  rootWindowInsets  stableInsetTop    DEFAULT INSET             return inset    fun blurView rootView  View   a  SpacesActivity         val screenBitmap   getBitmapFromView rootView        val heightDifference   getInsets rootView      val croppedMap   Bitmap createBitmap                      screenBitmap  0  heightDifference                      screenBitmap width                      screenBitmap height - heightDifference      val blurredScreen   blurBitmap croppedMap      if  blurredScreen    null             val myDrawable   BitmapDrawable a   resources  blurredScreen           a errorHudFrameLayout  background   myDrawable          a appBarLayout  visibility   View INVISIBLE          And then in the activity class   fun blurView         this runOnUiThread           Helper blurView this            You will of course want to make pass a weak reference of the activity to the static Helper class method parameter  but for the sake of brevity I refrained in this example  The blurBitmapand errorHudFrameLayout are omitted for the same reason  since they don t directly pertain to obtaining the height of the status bar

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

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  gt  0              result   getResources   getDimensionPixelSize resourceId                  return result

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   form  https   developer android com training system-ui status html behind

The reason why the top answer does not work for some people is because you cannot get the dimensions of a view until it is ready to render  Use an OnGlobalLayoutListener to get said dimensions when you actually can    Override protected void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState        super onCreate savedInstanceState       setContentView R layout activity main        final ViewGroup decorView    ViewGroup  this getWindow   getDecorView        decorView getViewTreeObserver   addOnGlobalLayoutListener new ViewTreeObserver OnGlobalLayoutListener              Override         public void onGlobalLayout                 if  Build VERSION SDK INT  gt   16                    decorView getViewTreeObserver   removeOnGlobalLayoutListener this                 else                      Nice one  Google                 decorView getViewTreeObserver   removeGlobalOnLayoutListener this                             Rect rect   new Rect                decorView getWindowVisibleDisplayFrame rect               rect top     This is the height of the status bar                     This is the most reliable method

Since multi-window mode is available now  your app may not have statusbar on top   Following solution handle all the cases automatically for you   android fitsSystemWindows  true    or programatically  findViewById R id your root view  setFitsSystemWindows true     you may also get root view by   findViewById android R id content  getRootView    or getWindow   getDecorView   findViewById android R id content    For more details on getting root-view refer - https   stackoverflow com a 4488149 9640177

Hardcoding the size or using reflection to get the value of status bar height is considered bad practice  Chris Banes talked about this in at the Droidcon New York  The recommended way of getting the status bar size is via the OnApplyWindowInsetsListener   myView setOnApplyWindowInsetsListener   view  insets - gt      val statusBarSize   insets systemWindowInsetTop   return insets     This was added in API 20 and is also backported via ViewAppCompat

Toggled Fullscreen Solution   This solution may look like a workaround  but it actually accounts for whether your app is fullscreen  aka hiding the status bar  or not   Display display   getWindowManager   getDefaultDisplay    Point size   new Point    display getSize size   int barheight   size y - findViewById R id rootView  getHeight      This way  if your app is currently fullscreen  barheight will equal 0   Personally I had to use this to correct absolute TouchEvent coordinates to account for the status bar as so    Override public boolean onTouch View view MotionEvent event        Display display   getWindowManager   getDefaultDisplay        Point size   new Point    display getSize size       int YCoord    int event getRawY   - size y   rootView getHeight         And that will get the absolute y-coordinate whether the app be fullscreen or not   Enjoy

The default height used to be 25dp  With Android Marshmallow  API 23  the height was reduced to 24dp   Update  Please be aware that since the age of notches and punch-whole-cameras began  using a static height for the status bar no longer works  Please use window insets instead

To solve this  I used a combination approach  This is necessary as on tablets the system bar already subtracts it s pixels when display getHeight   is called  So I first check if a system bar is present  and then Ben Claytons approach  which works fine on phones     public int getStatusBarHeight         int statusBarHeight   0       if   hasOnScreenSystemBar              int resourceId   getResources   getIdentifier  status bar height    dimen    android            if  resourceId  gt  0                statusBarHeight   getResources   getDimensionPixelSize resourceId                        return statusBarHeight     private boolean hasOnScreenSystemBar         Display display   getWindowManager   getDefaultDisplay        int rawDisplayHeight   0      try           Method getRawHeight   Display class getMethod  getRawHeight            rawDisplayHeight    Integer  getRawHeight invoke display         catch  Exception ex               int UIRequestedHeight   display getHeight         return rawDisplayHeight - UIRequestedHeight  gt  0

Out of all the code samples I ve used to get the height of the status bar  the only one that actually appears to work in the onCreate method of an Activity is this   public int getStatusBarHeight         int result   0      int resourceId   getResources   getIdentifier  status bar height    dimen    android        if  resourceId  gt  0            result   getResources   getDimensionPixelSize resourceId             return result      Apparently the actual height of the status bar is kept as an Android resource  The above code can be added to a ContextWrapper class  e g  an Activity    Found at http   mrtn me blog 2012 03 17 get-the-height-of-the-status-bar-in-android
