LinearLayout height in onCreate is 0

Question

I'm trying to dynamically adjust the height of my rows depending on the (screen height - my layout height) / list.size.

Unfortunately in the onCreate method the layout height returns null (not so when i call it in an on click listener).

Is there another method I can call it in?

Answer 1

You have to wait until layout happens, which is after onCreate(). You can do so by listening to onSizeChanged() on a View or by posting a Runnable from onCreate() (myView.post(new Runnable() { ... })).
