How to Get the Height and Width of the Android Navigation Bar Programmatically

How do I get the height and width of the Android Navigation Bar programmatically?

Try below code:

Resources resources = context.getResources();
int resourceId = resources.getIdentifier("navigation_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
if (resourceId > 0) {
    return resources.getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId);
}
return 0;

How to REALLY get the navigation bar height in Android

This is the code I use to get the navigation bar size. Its height will be in Point.y

Credit to this answer

public static Point getNavigationBarSize(Context context) {
    Point appUsableSize = getAppUsableScreenSize(context);
    Point realScreenSize = getRealScreenSize(context);

    // navigation bar on the right
    if (appUsableSize.x < realScreenSize.x) {
        return new Point(realScreenSize.x - appUsableSize.x, appUsableSize.y);
    }

    // navigation bar at the bottom
    if (appUsableSize.y < realScreenSize.y) {
        return new Point(appUsableSize.x, realScreenSize.y - appUsableSize.y);
    }

    // navigation bar is not present
    return new Point();
}

public static Point getAppUsableScreenSize(Context context) {
    WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
    Display display = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay();
    Point size = new Point();
    display.getSize(size);
    return size;
}

public static Point getRealScreenSize(Context context) {
    WindowManager windowManager = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);
    Display display = windowManager.getDefaultDisplay();
    Point size = new Point();

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 17) {
        display.getRealSize(size);
    } else if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 14) {
        try {
            size.x = (Integer)     Display.class.getMethod("getRawWidth").invoke(display);
            size.y = (Integer) Display.class.getMethod("getRawHeight").invoke(display);
    } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {} catch     (InvocationTargetException e) {} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {}
    }

    return size;
}

Edit: To answer your question I had to use this function since I wanted to add ResideMenu to my app, but ended getting a weird empty margin at the bottom of my app, because of the navigation bar.

So I edited this function added by ResideMenu like this:

@Override
protected boolean fitSystemWindows(Rect insets) {
    // Applies the content insets to the view's padding, consuming that content (modifying the insets to be 0),
    // and returning true. This behavior is off by default and can be enabled through setFitsSystemWindows(boolean)
    // in API14+ devices.

    int bottomPadding = insets.bottom;

    Point p = getNavigationBarSize(getContext());

    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21 && p.x != 0) {
        Resources resources = getContext().getResources();
        int resourceId = resources.getIdentifier("navigation_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
        if (resourceId > 0) {
            bottomPadding += resources.getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId);
        }
    }

    this.setPadding(viewActivity.getPaddingLeft() + insets.left, viewActivity.getPaddingTop() + insets.top,
            viewActivity.getPaddingRight() + insets.right, viewActivity.getPaddingBottom() + bottomPadding);
    insets.left = insets.top = insets.right = insets.bottom = 0;
    return true;
}

Hope that will help you.

How do I get the height and width of the Android Navigation Bar programmatically in flutter?

Use this to get the bottom nav bar height

MediaQuery.of(context).viewInsets.bottom

How do I get the bottom navigation bar height for Material Design 3?

With Material3 the BottomNavigationView has a different minHeight.

You can apply something like:

   <fragment
        android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/m3_bottom_nav_min_height"

Reference: android/material/bottomnavigation/res/values/dimens.xml#L32

Navigation Bar in Android: size and position

Posting here for benefit of those who end up here looking for ways to elegantly handle Navigationbar and Statusbar.

Refer this post.

As suggested in many of similar questions, for example this, this, this, and this, simply getting navigation bar height may not be enough. We need to consider whether 1. navigation bar exists, 2. is it on the bottom, or right or left, 3. is app open in multi-window mode.

There is a simple one line solution

android:fitsSystemWindows="true"

or programatically

findViewById(R.id.your_root_view).setFitsSystemWindows(true);

you may also get root view by

findViewById(android.R.id.content).getRootView();
or
getWindow().getDecorView().findViewById(android.R.id.content)

For more details on getting root-view refer - https://stackoverflow.com/a/4488149/9640177

Android navigation bar size in xml

After looking in android source it looks like there is dimens for navigation bar height :

@android:dimen/navigation_bar_height

There are other dimens linked to nav bar, examples from android values/dimens.xml :

<!-- Height of the bottom navigation / system bar. -->
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height">48dp</dimen>
<!-- Height of the bottom navigation bar in portrait; often the same as @dimen/navigation_bar_height -->
<dimen name="navigation_bar_height_landscape">48dp</dimen>
<!-- Width of the navigation bar when it is placed vertically on the screen -->
<dimen name="navigation_bar_width">42dp</dimen>
