Getting the device's screen resolution

[Auggie]

Is there a way to get the device's screen resolution with Kivy, so I can assign it to a variable? I have been using PyAutoGUI for that purpose, but would much rather do it with Kivy, if possible.

from kivy.core.window import Window

size = Window.size print("display size =", size)

Thank you for your answer! When I run your code, I get: display size = (800, 600). This seems to be the default window size in kivy. My screen resolution is 3000x2000 (Surface book 2, 13.5 inch), so I'm looking for a similar code that will give me: display size = (3000, 2000), or whatever the screen resolution is on any given device, including phones and tablets. Thanks!

Try this

class MyApp(App):

    def on_start(self):

        print( self.root_window.size )

Or

instance.bind(size=myfunc)

def myfunc(inst, value):

    print( Window().size )

Thank you for your answer! The first suggestion still returns (800, 600). I couldn't figure out how to make the second suggestion work.

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.label import Label
from kivy.core.window import Window


class TestApp(App):
    def build(self):
        label = Label(text="Initial Size = {0}".format(Window.size))

        def on_size(win, size):
            label.text = "on_size. Size={0}".format(size)

        Window.bind(size=on_size)
        return label

TestApp().run()
