- outSmallestSize
- Filled in with the smallest width and height that the application will encounter, in pixels (not dp units). The x (width) dimension here directly corresponds to Android.Content.Res.Configuration.SmallestScreenWidthDp, except the value here is in raw screen pixels rather than dp units. Your application may of course still get smaller space yet if, for example, a soft keyboard is being displayed.
- outLargestSize
- Filled in with the largest width and height that the application will encounter, in pixels (not dp units). Your application may of course still get larger space than this if, for example, screen decorations like the status bar are being hidden.
Return the range of display sizes an application can expect to encounter under normal operation, as long as there is no physical change in screen size. This is basically the sizes you will see as the orientation changes, taking into account whatever screen decoration there is in each rotation. For example, the status bar is always at the top of the screen, so it will reduce the height both in landscape and portrait, and the smallest height returned here will be the smaller of the two. This is intended for applications to get an idea of the range of sizes they will encounter while going through device rotations, to provide a stable UI through rotation. The sizes here take into account all standard system decorations that reduce the size actually available to the application: the status bar, navigation bar, system bar, etc. It does not take into account more transient elements like an IME soft keyboard.
