Android get layout height and width in a fragment

I am working on a fragment and I want to get the dimension of a

layout

contained in the

xml

fragment layout

.
When I try the code

 
 

  
  RelativeLayout myLayout = view.findViewById(R.id.myLayout);
myLayout.getHeight();

 
 

it returns 0.
I need these dimensions to put inside myLayout other objects.

I try to use:

 
 

  
  myLayout.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(
    new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener(){

        @Override
        public void onGlobalLayout() {
            mHeight = myLayout.getHeight();
            mWidth= myLayout.getWidth();
            System.out.println("width: "+mWidth+"   height: "+mHeight);
         }
});

 
 

but this code is invoke a lot of time and I don’t know exactly when it is execute.
I need these dimensions into

public void onActivityCreated ()

method. Is it possible?

 

Answer

In onActivityCreated, the view hasn’t been measured yet. So no, you can’t get the measurements from there. onGlobalLayout is a good place to do it. Layouts happen directly after measurement. You can remove your listener afterwards, if you only want to do it once. Note that layouts can change size though (soft keyboards appearing, for example)
