How to get the screen DPI in java?

I am developing an app for which I need the screen DPI.. I checked 开发者_如何学JAVAa few forums and got a code snippet which goes as follows:

Dimension screen = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
System.out.println("screen width: "+screen.getWidth()); 
System.out.println("screen height: "+screen.getHeight()); 
int pixelPerInch=java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenResolution(); 
System.out.println("pixelPerInch: "+pixelPerInch); 

double height=screen.getHeight()/pixelPerInch; 
double width=screen.getWidth()/pixelPerInch; 
double x=Math.pow(height,2); 
double y=Math.pow(width,2); 

But whatever be the value of my screen resolution, the pixelPerInch value remains the same at 96. What is the problem with the code??

I got another swt code for the same thing which goes as follows:

  import org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Device;
  import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
  import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;

  public class MainClass {
  public void run() {
  Display display = new Display();
  Shell shell = new Shell(display);
  shell.setText("Display Device");
  createContents(shell);
  shell.pack();
  shell.open();
  while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
    if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
      display.sleep();
    }
  }
  display.dispose();
}

private void createContents(Shell shell) {
  Device device = shell.getDisplay();

  System.out.println("getBounds(): "+ device.getBounds());
  System.out.println("getClientArea(): "+device.getClientArea());
  System.out.println("getDepth(): "+device.getDepth());
  System.out.println("getDPI(): "+device.getDPI());

  device.setWarnings(true);
  System.out.println("Warnings supported: "+device.getWarnings());
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
  new MainClass().run();
}

But again here also whatever be my screen resolution, the getDPI() returns the same value of 96.. What is going wrong?? Is my code wrong or am I interpreting it in a wrong way??

The problem is no one, not even the OS, knows the exact physical dimensions of the screen. You'd need to know that in order to calculate the PPI.

There's a display setting in the control panel where the user can manually specify the PPI and by default it's set to 96.

this code works for me on win10

import javafx.stage.Screen 

double getScaleFactor() {
        double trueHorizontalLines = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().getHeight();
        double scaledHorizontalLines = Screen.getPrimary().getBounds().getHeight();
        double dpiScaleFactor = trueHorizontalLines / scaledHorizontalLines;
        return dpiScaleFactor;
    }

it uses some awt apis though
