useWindowDimensions

import { useWindowDimensions } from 'react-native';

useWindowDimensions automatically updates width and height values when screen size changes. You can get your application window's width and height like so:

const windowWidth = useWindowDimensions().width;

const windowHeight = useWindowDimensions().height;

Example

import React from "react";

import { View, StyleSheet, Text, useWindowDimensions } from "react-native";

export default function App() {

const window = useWindowDimensions();

return (

<View style={styles.container}>

<Text>{`Window Dimensions: height - ${window.height}, width - ${window.width}`}</Text>

</View>

);

}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({

container: {

flex: 1,

justifyContent: "center",

alignItems: "center"

}

});

• The useDimensions hook from the community React native hooks library aims to make handling screen/window size changes easier to work with.
• React Native Responsive Dimensions also comes with responsive hooks.
