Answer 1

Are you trying to get sizes in a constructor, or any other method that is run BEFORE you get the actual picture?

You won't be getting any dimensions before all components are actually measured (since your xml doesn't know about your display size, parents positions and whatever)

Try getting values after onSizeChanged() (though it can be called with zero), or just simply waiting when you'll get an actual image.
