My android device has a Display Mode under Settings -> Display page. This display-mode settings screen displays various display modes such as 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080p, 1080i etc…
My device has Android OS version 2.3.3. Please note, this is a custom made Android device.

When I select any of these display modes, my device’s mode get changed. I need to get the currently selected display-mode value programatically.

Is there any way this can be done ?

    I got a solution.

    First way

    I saw an app named About. This application lists SystemProperties as list with propertyname and value. From this, i got the required property name as ubootenv.var.outputmode.

    Then i got another thread which reads the SystemProperties using the getprop android command from here : Parsing Android getprop

    By this way, now i am able to get the display-output-mode parameter.

    Second way

    I also tried using android.os.SystemProperties class via reflection and tried invoking get method. But this is returning null always.

    Anyway the first method is working. Thanks for your help 🙂
