Height of status bar in Android with no Activity (IME)

Question

I am trying to determine the height to the status bar in Android, . I have found answers, but all seem to rely on the Activity object ( e.g., activity.getWindow() ). However, I am developing an input method, which does not have an associated activity object.

Any ideas how I can do this in an IME?

This has been answered in other posts. Here and a response linked to here.

public int getStatusBarHeight() {
  int result = 0;
  int resourceId = getResources().getIdentifier("status_bar_height", "dimen", "android");
  if (resourceId > 0) {
      result = getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(resourceId);
  }
  return result;
}
