Reading Screen Size

Thom · Aug 3, 2015

I am just finishing up a Tasker project that uses 5 scenes. It will be used on large format phones and small format phones. Since Tasker has problems in resizing I created two sets for a total of 10 scenes.

The scenes are 512 wide and 1024 wide.

I load the names into a list and can choose which set of 5 to use for the current device.

540 x 960 use 512 version (Bionic)
720 x 1280 use 512 version (Maxx)
1440 x 2560 use 1024 version (Turbo)

How can I tell the dimensions of the screen being used so I can make the choice?

(I uses these sizes so I could develop on the 1024 version and then reduce every dimension by 50% for the 512 version.)

Turns out it was added to Tasker ... this gives the width from a width x height response ...

AAAA
