How can I determine the size of e.g. a LinearLayout or TableLayout inside a screen? I get 0's when calling the getHeight()/getWidth() it inherits from the View superclass. I need the available size, so before any widgets are added. It is the immediate child of an Activity, but I don't want to know how many pixels I need to substract from the device screen for e.g. the little status bar.
I found out that by the time the Activity's onWindowFocusChanged() is called, the sizes of the Layout are set, and can be retrieved with the getHeight() and getWidth() methods. This is called before the widgets onDraw() are called, but after their onMeasure() is called. So there is still no good way to tell the widgets what size they will have. Even if I iterate over the widgets afterwards and set their sizes, this still has no effect. I am sure that other people run into this problem, so I hope to get a clean solution for this.
