title: How to get width and height of a view
body: <p>I have a class called game that extends View that is added to a LinearLayout. I know that it is displaying my View but i need to get the width and height of the view in order to draw some of my images. Here is my constructor code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public Game(Activity activ)
  {
      activ.setContentView(R.layout.game);
  
      ...
  
      ViewGroup.LayoutParams lp = new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT,
              LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
      setLayoutParams(lp);
  
      layout = (LinearLayout)activ.findViewById(R.id.game_layout);
      layout.addView(this);
  
      ...
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>now when i do this.getWidth() and this.getHeight() i keep getting a return value of 0. How can i get the width and the height of my view?</p>
