Question

How can I find out the current screen resolution?

Answer

The current screen resolution is a useful piece of information to know - particularly if you want to place a frame window in the very center of the screen. The screen dimensions can be found through the aid of the getScreenSize() method of the default screen toolkit.

import java.awt.*;
public class GetScreenSize()
{
	public static void main(String args[])
	{
		// Get the default toolkit
		Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();

		// Get the current screen size
		Dimension scrnsize = toolkit.getScreenSize();

		// Print the screen size
		System.out.println ("Screen size : " + scrnsize);

		// Exit gracefully
		System.exit(0);
	}
}
