You can add a tree observer to the layout. This should return the correct width and height. onCreate()
is called before the layout of the child views are done. So the width and height is not calculated yet. To get the height and width, put this on the onCreate()
method:
final LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.YOUR_VIEW_ID);
ViewTreeObserver vto = layout.getViewTreeObserver();
vto.addOnGlobalLayoutListener (new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
@Override
public void onGlobalLayout() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
layout.getViewTreeObserver()
.removeOnGlobalLayoutListener(this);
} else {
layout.getViewTreeObserver()
.removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
}
int width = layout.getMeasuredWidth();
int height = layout.getMeasuredHeight();
}
});
