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"; const 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" } }); export default App;

• 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.
