You are talking about @+id/MenuBarLayout right? Did you set its width to FILL_PARENT when you get the screen width? If you did this, it is totally right that your code returns the screen width, because its grand parent's width is FILL_PARENT. In this case, i think you should fix MenuBarLayout's width.
