I'm not sure I understand....  Are you saying that display.getWidth and

display.getHeight don't return valid numbers?  Or did I miss something?

I am saying that I don't recommend using them, and I have no good strong use cases for them.

 

And if that's the case, why even have them in the developers guide?

If I was putting together the 1.0 SDK today, I would think hard about whether or not these go into the SDK.

I don't recommend using them.

Do you have a specific use case where you think they are the right way to go?
