Remarks

A structure describing general information about a display, such as its size, density, and font scaling.

To access the DisplayMetrics members, retrieve display metrics like this:

context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();

For UI layout, obtain android.view.WindowMetrics from WindowManager#getCurrentWindowMetrics(). DisplayMetrics should only be used for obtaining display related properties, such as #xdpi and #ydpi

See #density for more information about the differences between #xdpi, #ydpi and #density.

Dispose()	(Inherited from Object)
Dispose(Boolean)	(Inherited from Object)
Equals(DisplayMetrics)	Returns true if these display metrics equal the other display metrics.
Equals(Object)	Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Returns a hash code value for the object. (Inherited from Object)
