Android: get height of a view before it´s drawn

by

Sounds like you want to get the height but hide the view before it is visible.

Have the visibility in the view set to visible or invisible to start with(just so that a height is created). Don’t worry we will change it to invisible/gone in the code as shown below:

private int mHeight = 0;
private View mView;

class...

// onCreate or onResume or onStart ...
mView = findViewByID(R.id.someID);
mView.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener( 
    new OnGlobalLayoutListener(){

        @Override
        public void onGlobalLayout() {
            // gets called after layout has been done but before display
            // so we can get the height then hide the view


            mHeight = mView.getHeight();  // Ahaha!  Gotcha

            mView.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener( this );
            mView.setVisibility( View.GONE );
        }

});
