Find icon size (screen resolution) through code

Hello,

Is it possible to use code to find the icon size (or resolution) for a device, similar to how you would find the screen height or width, and if so, how do I do that? I know I can find them all in the resource devices page, but I would like to set up an action which depends on the icon size, and I would not wish to hard-code each part number as it would not be efficient.

I look forward to hearing your advice.

        System.print(bitmap.getWidth()+" "+bitmap.getHeight());

65 65 for the 965, 60 60 for the 265, for example

It turns out that using the launcher icon returns the same width and height every time - 30 x 30, instead of the actual dimensions of the actual device. Is there any way to return the correct figures through code?

Which devices? On some the icon is 30x30. When you build an app do you see something like:

WARNING: fr745: The launcher icon (30x30) isn't compatible with the specified launcher icon size of the device 'fr745' (40x40). Image will be scaled to the target size.

Hi Jim, you've saved my bacon once again I've been using the default IQ icon instead of my own icon, and now I'm getting the figures I should. Thanks again!
