http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/screens_support.html states:

Terms and concepts

Screen size Actual physical size,
measured as the screen’s diagonal. For
simplicity, Android groups all actual
screen sizes into four generalized
sizes: small, normal, large, and extra
large.

How do I programmatically get the generalized size of the device screen? The method or property I am looking for will return one of: small, normal, large, and extra large. (or const/enums that can be mapped to those)

Thanks.
