I have a view made up of TableLayout, TableRow and TextView . I want it to look like a grid. I need to get the height and width of this grid. The methods getHeight() and getWidth() always return 0. This happens when I format the grid dynamically and also when I use an XML version. How to retrieve the dimensions for a view? Here is my test program I used in Debug to check the results: import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.widget.TableLayout; import android.widget.TextView; public class appwig extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.maindemo); //<- includes the grid called "board" int vh = 0; int vw = 0; //Test-1 used the xml layout (which is displayed on the screen): TableLayout tl = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.board); tl = (TableLayout) findViewById(R.id.board); vh = tl.getHeight(); //<- getHeight returned 0, Why? vw = tl.getWidth(); //<- getWidth returned 0, Why? //Test-2 used a simple dynamically generated view: TextView tv = new TextView(this); tv.setHeight(20); tv.setWidth(20); vh = tv.getHeight(); //<- getHeight returned 0, Why? vw = tv.getWidth(); //<- getWidth returned 0, Why? } //eof method } //eof class
