Can't get height of Widgets

Question

I am facing a problem when gets height/width of TextView.

My code :

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(saved         


        

Answer 1

tv1.getHeight() will return 0 (as well as tv2.getWidth()) if it's not drawed yet.

Solution would be to get the height after your view is layouted:

tv1.post(new Runnable(){
    public void run(){
         int height = tv1.getHeight();
    }
});
tv2.post(new Runnable(){
    public void run(){
         int height = tv2.getHeight();
    }
});

Answer 2

View.getWidth()/View.getHeight() won't give you a meaningful answer until the view has been measured. Read about how android draws views here.
See this thread to get an idea of when the measured dimensions will be available.
