Get screen and browser size

Support
1

Hello,
I’m using Appium in Ruby on Android real device Galaxy S4
I’m looking to get the screen and browser size but right now I’m using, after opening my webpage on Chrome:

@browser.execute_script(“return window.innerWidth”).to_i
@browser.execute_script(“return window.innerHeight”).to_i
@browser.execute_script(“return window.outerWidth”).to_i
@browser.execute_script(“return window.outerHeight”).to_i
@browser.execute_script(“return screen.width”).to_i
@browser.execute_script(“return screen.height”).to_i

But I have some very weird results (quite the same thing with Genymotion), because the S4 resolution is 1080 x 1920:

Windows innerwidth 980 - Windows outerwidth 360 - Screen width 360
Windows innerheight 1522 - Windows outerheight 559 - Screen height 640

So because it looks like java script is not recommanded with Watir, have you another way than js to get sizes ?
Thanks

my capabilities:
capabilities = {
caps: {
‘browserName’ => ‘Chrome’,
‘platformName’ => ‘Android’,
‘deviceName’ => ‘Android’
},
appium_lib: {
sauce_username: nil, # don’t run on Sauce
sauce_access_key: nil
}
}
@driver_appium = Appium::Driver.new(capabilities)
@driver = @driver_appium.start_driver
@browser = Watir::Browser.new @driver
@browser.driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait = 15

Hi Eric,

Did you manage to get it? I’m facing the same issue

I’ve also found that window.screen.height is returned not correct result.
Samsung Tab 3 - correct, Samsung Note 2 - not correct
However, window.innerHeight seems return correctly for both.

I will try to link on that. Do you have better ideas or findings?

Hello Max,
What I did is just multiply the value I get by 3 and It gives me the exact pixel size screen of my Samsung Galaxy S4…
I didn’t search further…

Because they return values in CSS pixels. Plesae find this link. http://www.quirksmode.org/mobile/viewports.html

Screen size:

driver.manage().window().getSize().getHeight();
driver.manage().window().getSize().getWidth();
