Xamarin_Screensize

Here are examples for storing the specific OS's screen details in static vars, located in the Xamarin Forms App class

Android (MainActivity.cs) - Jump to Code Page

// Store off the device sizes, so we can access them within Xamarin Forms
//  Screen Width = WidthPixels / Density
//  Screen Height = HeightPixels / Density

App.DisplayScreenWidth  = (double)Resources.DisplayMetrics.WidthPixels / (double)Resources.DisplayMetrics.Density;
App.DisplayScreenHeight = (double)Resources.DisplayMetrics.HeightPixels / (double)Resources.DisplayMetrics.Density; 
App.DisplayScaleFactor  = (double)Resources.DisplayMetrics.Density;

iOS (AppDelegate.cs) - Jump to Code Page

// Store off the device sizes, so we can access them within Xamarin Forms
App.DisplayScreenWidth  = (double)UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Width;
App.DisplayScreenHeight = (double)UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Height;
App.DisplayScaleFactor  = (double)UIScreen.MainScreen.Scale;
