Android Studio XML getMeasuredWidth ()

Question

The getMeasuredWidth() method measures the width in pixels, is there a similar method that measures the width in dp?

What for? Everything is drawn in pixels. DP is only there to help you with your layouts — David Medenjak, May 12 '17 at 20:37

No there is no method to get width in dp. But you can use another method to convert pixels to dp. — Ferdous Ahamed, May 12 '17 at 20:46

No, there is no method to get view width in dp. But you can use below method to convert Pixels to DP.

public static float convertPixelsToDp(float px, Context context){
    Resources resources = context.getResources();
    DisplayMetrics metrics = resources.getDisplayMetrics();
    float dp = px / ((float)metrics.densityDpi / DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEFAULT);
    return dp;
}
