git - simple guide

1. Setup :- 

(a) git-osx-installer
(b) git-for-windows
(c) git-for-linux

2. Create a new local repository :-
create a new directory, open it and perform a
git init :- to create a new git repository.

3. Checkout a repository :-
Create a working copy of a local repository:
git clone /path/to/repository
For a remote server, use:
git clone username@host:/path/to/repository

4. Add & commit :-
Add one or more files to staging (index):
git add *
Commit changes to head (but not yet to the remote repository):
git commit -m "Commit message"

5. Pushing changes :-
Your changes are now in the HEAD of your local working copy. To send those changes to your remote repository, execute :
git status :- List the files you've changed and those you still need to add or commit:
git pull origin master : - if conflict , resolve conflict and again follow step no 4. then push the code.
git push origin master :- push the code to your remote repository.

6. Branching :-
Branches are used to develop features isolated from each other. The master branch is the "default" branch when you create a repository.
Create a new branch and switch to it: git checkout -b branchname
Switch from one branch to another: git checkout branchname
List all the branches in your repository, and also tell you what branch you're currently in: git branch
Delete the feature branch: git branch -d branchname
Push the branch to your remote repository, so others can use it: git push origin branchname
Push all branches to your remote repository: git push --all origin
Delete a branch on your remote repository: git push origin :branchname

7. Update & merge :-
Fetch and merge changes on the remote server to your working directory: git pull
To merge a different branch into your active branch: git merge branchname
if conflict, resolve conflict and again follow step no 4. then push the code in your remote repository.

Get screen dimensions in pixels

If you want the display dimensions in pixels you can use getSize :

Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();

Point size = new Point();
display.getSize(size);
int width = size.x;
int height = size.y;

If you're not in an Activity you can get the default Display via WINDOW_SERVICE:

WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WINDOW_SERVICE);

Display display = wm.getDefaultDisplay();

Before getSize was introduced (in API level 13), you could use the getWidth and getHeight methods that are now deprecated:

Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
int width = display.getWidth(); // deprecated
int height = display.getHeight(); // deprecated

For the use case you're describing however, a margin/padding in the layout seems more appropriate.

Another ways is: DisplayMetrics.

A structure describing general information about a display, such as its size, density, and font scaling. To access the DisplayMetrics members, initialize an object like this:

DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);
Log.d("ApplicationTagName", "Display width in px is " + metrics.widthPixels);

We can use widthPixels to get information for:

"The absolute width of the display in pixels."

Example:

Log.d("ApplicationTagName", "Display width in px is " + metrics.widthPixels);
