Its possible that your view hasn't been drawn yet. An important thing to remember though is that getTop() returns an offset value relative to the views parent. This means that regardless of where your parent is on screen, if your view is positioned at the top of the parent view, getTop() will return 0.
To get your windows absolute position on screen, call, getAbsoluteLocationOnScreen(int []).
