Screen resolution java

Question

How one can get the screen resolution where a swing jFrame app is running?

Answer 1

This call will give you the information you want.

Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();

Answer 2

You can get the screen size with the Toolkit.getScreenSize() method.

Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
double width = screenSize.getWidth();
double height = screenSize.getHeight();

On a multi-monitor configuration you should use this :

GraphicsDevice gd = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getDefaultScreenDevice();
int width = gd.getDisplayMode().getWidth();
int height = gd.getDisplayMode().getHeight();

If you want to get the screen resolution in DPI you'll have to use the getScreenResolution() method on Toolkit.
