Getting device screen resolution

cstogian

Hello,
I am trying to obtain the resolution of the device. There was a thread some time ago mentioning that you can do this with application:getHardwareWidth() and application:getHardwareHeight(), however these give me the compiler error "attempt to call method 'getHardwareWidth' (a nil value)". Is there any way to determine the screen resolution of the device?
Thank you.

@cstogian Check the Gideros Reference Manual here: http://www.giderosmobile.com/documentation/reference_manual.html#Application:getLogicalWidth

also if you are lazy enuf, you can check this

print( " Logical Width ".. application:getLogicalWidth() ) print( " Logical Height ".. application:getLogicalHeight() ) print( " Device Width ".. application:getDeviceWidth() ) print( " Device Height ".. application:getDeviceHeight() ) print( " Application Dimensions ".. application:getContentWidth() .."x".. application:getContentHeight() .." px" )

Thanks, getDeviceWidth and getDeviceHeight are what I need. That thread with getHardwareWidth threw me off the track.
