Hello everyone!
I need a bit of help for an app I am trying to develop.
I've got a main screen with a couple of buttons on it.
What I would like to do is get the width of those buttons before they
are actually drawn on the screen. Their width is variable, as theyr
are defined as "wrap_content" in my main.xml
I tried to get the buttons' width in the methods onCreate() and
onStart() but all I get is a 0 measure, obviously because their width
can't be measured yet.
Do you know a way to do that?
this is an example of the code at the moment :
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
int maxButton; // I save the biggest button width in this variable
Button testButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.test); // button 1
Button testButton2 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.test2); // button 2
Button testButton3 = (Button)findViewById(R.id.test3); // button 3
maxButton=testButton.getWidth(); // I put button 1's width into
maxButton
if(testButton2.getWidth() > maxButton) { // If button 2's width is
bigger
maxButton = testButton2.getWidth(); // maxButton gets button 2's width
testButton3.setText("Button 2 is bigger than button 1!");
}
else
testButton3.setText("Button 1 is bigger than button 2!");
}
Thanks a lot,
Erken
