It may not answer your question, but it could be useful to know (I was looking for it myself when I came to this question) that if you need a View's dimension but your code is being executed when its layout has not been laid out yet (for example in onCreate() ) you can setup a ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener with View.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener() and put the relevant code that needs the view's dimension there. The listener's callback will be called when the layout will have been laid out.

You could try to do this.
