I'm considering using appMobi
<http://www.appmobi.com/>
to create an android app of some HTML5 I'm writing. I'd like to know the 
window size before I start designing in earnest.

The entire test page is

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Size</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" 
src="http://localhost:58888/_appMobi/appmobi.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
function onDeviceReady() {
   AppMobi.device.hideSplashScreen();
   AppMobi.device.setRotateOrientation("landscape");


   var str, size = [];
   if (typeof window.document.clientWidth == "number") {
     size = [window.document.clientWidth, window.document.clientHeight];
   } else if (window.document.documentElement &&
     window.document.documentElement.clientHeight) {
     size = [window.document.documentElement.clientWidth,
             window.document.documentElement.clientHeight];
   } else {
     size = [window.document.body.clientWidth,
             window.document.body.clientHeight];
   }
	
str = "Window width is " + size[0] + " pixels," +
       " and the height is " + size[1] + " pixels";
document.getElementById("sizer").firstChild.nodeValue = str;
}
document.addEventListener("AppMobi.device.ready",onDeviceReady,false);
</script>

</head>
<body>
<h2 id="sizer" style="text-align:center;">&nbsp;</h2>
</body>
</html>
