Any way to find out the physical size of a device's screen? (not resolution)

Is there any way to find out the physical size of a device's screen? (not the screen's resolution)

The reason I ask this is because I have a game where I display large texts using the string object and by switching paragraphs through code. The problem I'm having is that text will stop displaying completely after a certain limit is reached, and unfortunately that limit is directly dependent on the device's physical size, apparently.

I have a large text with font 25 display well on all mobile phones, but when I put it on a tablet, it stops displaying it completely. After a certain number of tests, I realized that the bigger the screen, the smaller the text I can fit inside a string object before it bugs out.

I want to modify the font size according to the device's screen's size, so for example in case the game is played on a 10 inch tablet, I lower the font to 16.

The most I could do so far is check if the device is a tablet, and since tablets are all above 7 inches, I lower the font size only for them. But the difference between 7 inch tablets and 10 inch tablets is too big to ignore.

So, does anyone know of a way to get the physical size of a device's screen?

use android plus

Could you please tell me which of the events from android plus I can use to get the actual size of the device, or in what combination? From what I've tested all I could find was the screen's resolution. I thought maybe the depth would give me the screen density, but from what I saw, it only gave me the width of the screen.

There is a condition that detects if a tablet. Maybe that will help. I know there are values which you can return like size of screen in inches but I'm not sure how they work on a per device basis

Omg, I can't believe I managed to miss that. I must have confused it with the window control object the first time. I've tested the get device screen size in inches function and it works perfectly for all my devices.

I'm really sorry for wasting your time.
