Sorry to be a dolt but I am still getting 0 for my measuredheight
(ht).  What am I doing wrong?

setContentView(R.layout.simplelinear);
LinearLayout ll=        (LinearLayout)this.findViewById(R.id.linearLayout);
        ll.forceLayout();
        ll.measure(View.MeasureSpec.AT_MOST, View.MeasureSpec.AT_MOST);
        int ht=ll.getMeasuredHeight();



simplelinear layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:id="@+id/linearLayout"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >


    </LinearLayout>
