get layout height and width at run time android

android-layout

Solution

Suppose I have to get a `LinearLayout` width defined in XML. I have to get reference of it by XML. Define `LinearLayout` `l` as instance.

 l = (LinearLayout)findviewbyid(R.id.l1);
ViewTreeObserver observer = l.getViewTreeObserver();
        observer.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {

            @Override
            public void onGlobalLayout() {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                init();
            l.getViewTreeObserver().removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(
                    this);
        }
    });

protected void init() {
        int a= l.getHeight();
            int b = l.getWidth();
Toast.makeText(getActivity,""+a+" "+b,3000).show();
    } 
    callfragment();
}

Problem

How can I get width and height of a linear layout which is defined in xml as fill_parent both in height and width? I have tried onmeasure method but I dont know why it is not giving exact value. I need these values in an Activity before oncreate method finishes.
