To accomplish this in my app, I had to find a View's dimensions within the main Activity. It looked something like this:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    gestureScanner = new GestureDetector(this);   //Object for handling gestures.

    mvView = new MyView(this);  //MyView is class that extends View.
    setContentView(myView);
}

@Override
public void onShowPress(MotionEvent e) {

    //Returns the size of the entire window, including status bar and title.
    DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics();
    this.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm);

    //Try to find the dimension of the view without the status/title bars.
    int iViewHeight = mvMountain.getHeight();
    int iViewWidth = mvMountain.getWidth();


    Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this," View:" + iViewWidth + ","+iViewHeight + " Window: " + dm.widthPixels + " by " + dm.heightPixels, 2);
    toast.show();
}
