Get parent Width and Height

Question

I've create a custom view based on LinearLayout and I need to calculate the layout width and height according to the parent view but each time I use ((View)this.getParent()).getMeasuredWidth() I got 0 - I guess that I called this function too early!

Any ideas to how accomplish this functionality?

@Hardik I don't get any errors, I just get zero value instead of actual layout width and height! — iSun, Dec 21 '13 at 12:55

parent view "tells you it's size". you can get in from measureSpecs which passed by parent to child measure method. — Leonidos, Dec 21 '13 at 13:01
The UI is not measured and drawn until after onCreate(). Hardik has the right answer. — Simon, Dec 21 '13 at 13:03

in Kotlin you can use like this :

   val height = (parent as View).height

if your view parent have layout params "android:layout_width="wrapContent", you can not get the width.
