在启动阶段获取控件大小

How can you tell when a layout has been drawn?

up vote 10 down vote favorite 4

I have a custom view that draws a scrollable bitmap to the screen. In order to initialize it, i need to pass in the size in pixels of the parent layout object. But during the onCreate and onResume functions, the Layout has not been drawn yet, and so layout.getMeasuredHeight() returns 0. As a workaround, i have added a handler to wait one second and then measure. This works, but its sloppy, and I have no idea how much i can trim the time before I end up before the laout gets drawn. What I want to know is, how can I detect when a layout gets drawn? Is there an event or callback? android  android-layout share | improve this question asked  Oct 11 '11 at 23:47 Plastic Sturgeon 5,677 7 23

You can add a tree observer to the layout. This should return the correct width and height. onCreate is called before the layout of the child views are done. So the width and height is not calculated yet. To get the height and width. Put this on the onCreate method LinearLayout layout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.YOUD VIEW ID); ViewTreeObserver vto = layout.getViewTreeObserver(); vto.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() { @Override public void onGlobalLayout() { this.layout.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this); int width = layout.getMeasuredWidth(); int height = layout.getMeasuredHeight(); } }); share | improve this answer edited  Oct 12 '11 at 19:46 Plastic Sturgeon 5,677 7 23 answered  Oct 12 '11 at 4:01 blessenm 9,313 2 16 32

This worked. Thanks! ViewTreeObserver is exactly the thing I wanted. –  Plastic Sturgeon  Oct 12 '11 at 16:43   Thanks a lot! Exactly the example I was looking for, including the immediate removal of the listener upon first trigger. –  baske  May 3 at 12:04
