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> On Mar 19, 1:10 pm, Romain Guy <romain...@google.com> wrote: > You have to measure the widget before you can get its dimension. > > > > On Thu, Mar 19, 2009 at 11:08 AM, Bob <bshumsk...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > Thanks.
